MONTROSE, Ga., July 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Collectors can expect to see
great quality and high condition throughout the 600-lot selection
offered at Montrose Auction's July 20
Firearms & Accessories sale. Coveted military and civilian
rifles, shotguns, handguns, ammunition, accessories and memorabilia
will be offered, as well as two fully transferable NFA submachine
guns. For those who cannot attend in person, all forms of remote
bidding will be available, including absentee, by phone or live
online through Montrose Live or any of four other trusted bidding
platforms.
A Group Industries Thompson submachine gun M1, .45 ACP, barrel
23 Class III, is serial-numbered T00010, has a 1928 pattern
receiver with a folding rear sight and top-mounted charging handle.
It has a Parkerized finish with a walnut stock pistol grip and
horizontal forearm. Like the original M1928A1, this Group
Industries Thompson reproduction features a safety selector with
two positions: "safe" and "fire." The charging handle functions as
a close-combat sight, and the rifle comes with the desirable and
more-precise ladder sights. The barrel of the machine gun comes
with a reproduction of the Cutts compensator with 12
o'clock-positioned vents to combat muzzle rise during automatic
fire. It is mechanically excellent and in excellent overall
condition with magazines, sling and carry case. An NFA item, it is
fully transferable and subject to a $200 tax stamp with fingerprints and photo cards.
Estimate: $15,000-$25,000
Another NFA highlight is a Powder
Springs, Georgia, Mac 10 .45 submachine gun with foregrip
and barrel extension, and Parkerized finish. It is mechanically
excellent and in excellent condition overall, with slight exterior
finish wear from use. It is fitted with Lage MFG folding stock.
Like the Group Industries Thompson, it is fully transferable and
subject to a $200 tax stamp with
fingerprints and photo cards. Estimate: $6,000-$10,000
An outstanding .45 ACP Savage 1907 Trials Pistol, one of the
original 200 Savage 1907 .45 pistols ordered on Oct. 15, 1907, was delivered in December of 1908.
After extensive testing, numerous pistols were returned to Savage
and a number of replacements were manufactured to a total
production of 288 pistols, as documented by the Ordnance Department
and Savage Arms. Most were eventually sold commercially after being
refinished to a dull matte blue finish, with nearly all markings
removed except serial numbers and ".45 ACP" on the slide's breech.
The auction gun, #177, is documented by Savage Arms as having been
returned from trials, refurbished and commercially sold to EK Tryon
of Philadelphia in 1922. A
wonderful restored and documented example, its estimate is
$8,000-$17,500.
Other prized firearms include a Springfield USMC Model 1903A1
Sniper rifle manufactured in 1930 and used in the Marine Corps from
1942-1956, $10,000-$15,000; and a fine Caesar Guerini Invictus 1
12-gauge M-SPEC over/under shotgun with a 32-inch barrel and Teague
chokes, $6,000-$8,000. Additionally, there are two Tippmann Arms
semi-automatic rifles, a Merkel over/under rifle, and 65 Colts.
