Rock Island Auction Company’s September 10^th -12th Premier Auction is shaping up to be another landmark event for collectors of fine arms and militaria, with a Thursday preview day followed by three full days of witnessing hundreds of the most desirable publicly available historic firearms go up for bid.

Leading the auction are rifles attributed to historic icons like President Andrew Jackson, frontier legend Kit Carson, and David Kal'kaua, the Last King of Hawaii, just a few of the elite headline-worthy pieces included in September’s event.

The September auction features rare arms from every era, from Golden Age flintlocks and exceptional Colt Dragoons and SAAs, to gorgeous Winchesters like American frontiersman John “Captain Jack” Wallace Crawford’s engraved Winchester Deluxe Model 1873 lever-action rifle. Scarce WWII weapons like the early production Krieghoff FG42 Type I Paratrooper rifle are also featured, one of the Holy Grails of 20^th Century gun collecting.

The all-star lineup continues with a Colt Model 1910 John Browning prototype and other ultra-rare military guns like the modified M1903 Springfield with a Pedersen device, and there’s even two Griffin & Howe bolt action rifles signed by Hollywood legend Gary Cooper. The featured gun collections are just as notable, with names like Robert M. Lee, Mac McCroskie, Dr. Robert Azar, Allan Cors, Dr. Gerald Klaz, Malcolm King, Clive Cussler, John Fox, and more, reading like a list of who’s who in the world of fine arms collecting.

As the #1 firearms auction house in the world, Rock Island Auction Company sets the bar higher and higher each year, and their September 10^th -12th Premier Firearms Auction continues to deliver with desirable offerings from every corner of the globe.
