From the royal palace halls of Europe to the Great Plains of the American West, the rarest and most exceptionally historic pieces find their way to the world’s number one firearms auction house just in time for Rock Island Auction Company’s Aug. 23-25 Premier Auction. The flagship of the auction is a gold and silver ornamented royal presentation wheellock sporting arm from the magnificent Cabinet d’Armes of King Louis XIII.

Not noble-born, but definitely firearms nobility in its own right, is a Lot 5 Colt Single Action Army revolver captured at the Little Bighorn battlefield. Another remarkable Wild West gun is a Colt Model 1877 Thunderer with inscribed gold washed solid German silver grips presented to lawman Pat Garrett.

Joining the museum-worthy items of the Norman R. Blank Collection are the high-condition and exactingly researched offerings from the Greg Lampe Collection that include the presentation cased Colt Model 1860 Army from Colt Vice President R.W.H. Jarvis to a Union Army surgeon.

The rarity in the auction lineup is simply amazing, from a beautiful Winchester Model 1886 with its original crate and five boxes of ammunition, to a John Ulrich engraved and signed Winchester Deluxe Model 1876  and a Texas-shipped Cuno Helfricht factory engraved silver-plated and pearl stocked Colt first generation Single Action Army revolver.

Whether you’re looking for exceptional antiques, elite Colts and Winchesters, rare military weapons or embellished sporting arms, Rock Island Auction Company’s Aug. 23-25 Premier Auction will offer rare collectibles up and down the lineup with every genre covered. Keep an eye out for the online catalog and attend the event at RIAC’s state-of-the-art venue at 3600 Harwood Road, Bedford, Texas.
