**HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT COLT CMG 3 MACHINE GUN. (FULLY TRANSFERABLE).SN 001. Cal. .308. 23-1/8″ bbl. This historically significant specimen is the gun which was held back by COLT in their “pattern room” when they tested the design of the CMG-3. It was prudent practice to withhold one pristine specimen back in mint condition while trials were conducted in order to be able to compare dimensional changes between it and guns undergoing rigorous testing. Reportedly there were very few of this particular model constructed in the early 1970’s, and one of these was only an aluminum receiver. Other specimens of this model were used up in endurance testing or otherwise altered during development. There may be a handful out there, but very few indeed. This specimen is marked on left side of receiver simply “Colt Gun Room and on right side of receiver “COLTS MG-3 SER NO. 001”. The feature that differentiates this gun from CMGs 2 & 3 is a single lug latch locking quick release bbl. Depressing bbl catch on top of receiver allows bbl to easily slide out of receiver. Otherwise, the unusual aspect of this machine gun is the method in which the bolt is charged. Pressing a tab on back of pistol grip allows entire grip assembly to slide forward within the rails of receiver and engaging the bolt. Withdrawing grip to rear cocks bolt into the open (charged) position. At that point, actuating the trigger allows bolt to go forward. The travel of bolt within feed way actuates the fingers of feed shuttle which feeds ammunition from left to right. The firing pin is double ended within the bolt, meaning that if the tip is broken off in use, the pin merely needs to be turned around end-for-end and reinserted into the bolt to be functional again. Included in this lot is orig and unusual drum magazine which is a sheet metal can with chute that apparently uses a standard M-60 belt. The belt with is placed inside reminiscent of a MG-34/42 drum,a nd the belt is routed up through chute to where it can be fed into feed shuttle. Drum cover is held in place by a sliding knife-style latch which fits into a slotted stud to retain it in place. This weapon also has an attached orig bi-pod with extendable legs and a hard black composite foregrip which makes this gun comfortable to hold and straightforward to cock. There is also a composite and steel carrying handle attached at the center gravity point which makes this machine gun easy to carry. Front sight is fixed, rear sight is fully adjustable for elevation and windage and graduated “1-10”. Firing mechanism moves smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval prior to transfer. This gun is registered on the current ATF Form 3 as caliber .223, however, the gun is actually, in reality, .308. This can be requested for correction upon transfer. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance near excellent with some slight loss of matte gray-green orig finish where there is metal-to-metal contact such as where handgrip assembly rides within rails as well as an area just ahead of and just behind foregrip where receiver has been very slightly milled where accommodation was made for foregrip mounting block. There are otherwise some very slight scratches to finish as well as some very slight wear to finish within feedway attesting to fact that this gun has indeed been fired successfully. Composite buttstock has a very dark gray-green color and has a scratch which reveals a light blue color composite stock beneath. Inside of receiver very clean and lubricated. Bore is shiny, clean, and bright with some firing residue in grooves. Fantastic piece of Colt modern machine gun development history from Colt’s Gun Room. What a treasure to find that it is fully transferable to individuals. 49318-5 JWK44 (150,000-250,000) – Lot 3740 |

Parts kit has same type gas regulator as on the rifle and a composite buttstock. Custom wooden transit chest stenciled by previous owner to indicate parts kit and lid also stenciled with “Property Of” previous owner. Browning Automatic Rifles machine guns are always popular at the range and this is a fine opportunity for any Class III enthusiast. 48986-2 JWK13 (18,000-25,000) – Lot 3755 |

**SCARCE SPRINGFIELD M1A HEAVY BARRELED SELECT FIRE MACHINE GUN AS REGISTERED BY ROCK ISLAND ARMORY (FULLY TRANSFERABLE).SN RIA16627. Cal. 7.62 x 51 mm. 25″ Bbl with flash hider. Receiver marked “U.S. RIFLE / 7.62 mm M1A / SPRINGFIELD / ARMORY” followed by SN. Also marked on top of receiver immediately to rear of rear sight “RIA”. This rifle has all of the best and most desireable features, most notably a heavy barrel, and TRW bolt, but also a detachable flash hider, folding bipod, folding vertical grip, attractive pistol grip stock, and flip-up buttplate. Four 20 rnd magazines and a 3 individual cell green “U.S.” marked magazine pouch is also included. Selector articulates very smoothly. Firing mechanism moves smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval for transfer. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance extremely fine to near excellent. Smooth dark finish on metal parts with the exception of the bolt which has a slightly more gray appearance and charging clip guide which is quite gray in contrast. High edges of metal flip-up buttplate have lost their finish and exhibit bare metal. Bare metal also shows where the charging handle rides against the receiver, and the bolt locking lugs ride within the rails of the receiver. There is some loss of finish to the charging handle visible also. Stock has very minor blemishes where bipod legs have come into contact with the wood, but is about the best condition and highest quality this cataloger has ever seen. Magazines display a more gray blue finish and canvas pouches are in good clean serviceable condition. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Pretty much about the best set-up an M14 lover could want. These guns with heavy barrels almost never surface for sale and this is a real opportunity for some fortunate collector. 49621-2 JWK43 (15,000-25,000) – Lot 3756 |

Brass fusee cover marked with typical DWM markings together with “Maxim’s patent 1898” and SN. Since these guns were made for the Argentinian Navy, it is no surprise to see a naval anchor marking on the front sight post, as well as on several of the brass parts of the water jacket, including the nosecap. Cork is not present on drain plug, but otherwise hardware is present. Tri-pod traverse stop-blocks and mounting pins present. Gun firing mechanism moves smoothly when operated by hand.

Tri-pod yoke has steel insert bushings which are unnumbered. Wooden roller on feedblock has been very lightly sanded and refinished but is still completely uniform and very attractive. Brass shuttle and jacket have some typical light scratches and handling marks but remain exceedingly attractive. Drain plugs retain their orig hard, red rubber thumbpieces. Bore is extremely fine, shiny and bright with some slight pitting in the grooves. Tri-pod retains over 85% of its orig green painted finish. Leather seat marked “EAG” within a square starting to flake, but in really great condition considering it is well over 100 years old. Optic sight is clear and clean, just beautiful, as is the leather case. Rubber eye cup is starting to harden and flake with a couple small chips missing out of the high edges, but still serviceable. Shoulder brace is a fine and faithful reproduction with large steel wing nuts and dep rich brown walnut shoulder brace. Carriage wheels retain nearly all of their orig light brown finish. Reproduction ammunition box nicely stenciled with three cartridges on the inside of the lid. Steel tires of carriage wheels retain over 90% of their black enamel paint finish, as do the metal hubs which are green. Although examples of these brass Maxims have surfaced for sale in recent years, this one is about the finest condition specimen to come to auction. The carriage wheels only enhance the attractiveness, not to mention easing the movement of this item from place to place. Fantastic piece! 49648-2 JWK60 C&R (35,000-45,000) – Lot 3757 |

**FANTASTIC CONDITION LOW SERIAL NUMBER ZB 26 WITH NAZI PROOFS (CURIO & RELIC).SN 1347. Cal. 8 mm. 26-1/2″ bbl with flash hider. This is a fantastic specimen of the highest quality Czech manufacturing standards as rebuilt by the German Heinrich Krieghoff firm. Includes one 20-rnd magazine. Marked “WAFFENWERKE BRUNN A.G.” (the German name for the BRNO manufacturing facility) on left side of receiver and “ZB 26 No 1347” on right side of receiver.

Visible SNs match to include bbl which has a crossed out no. “33641-42”. Bbl also has Nazi proofs. Gas cylinder also marked “1347”. The telltale “HK” within a circle proof visible on top of the bolt when viewed through the receiver well indicates that this gun was one of the ones rebuilt by the German firm Heinrich Krieghoff. This explains the combination of orig Czech circle “Z” markings and Nazi markings found on this weapon as well as the superb quality, fit and finish. Mechanism moves smoothly when operated by hand. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval for transfer. CONDITION: Near excellent deep lustrous blue finish on most metal parts as refinished by the firm of Heinrich Kreighoff during WW II. Gas cylinder is the appropriate grey finish; trigger and bbl release latch are an attractive plum color. Bolt and piston appropriately in the white. There are a couple of very light scratches to the finish on the side of the receiver and one can tell that the charging handle has been moved within its slot. Wood carrying handle has a couple of bruises and a 3/8″ chip at the 7 o’clock position when viewed from the rear which is not immediately noticeable. Balance of wood stock and hand grip have a few dings and light handling marks with a 1/4″ bruise on the pistol grip bottom right side. Bbl cooling rings finish absolutely pristine. Remnants of preservative grease in the action. Bore is near excellent, almost pristine.

**NAZI-PROOFED WWII ZB-26 MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC).SN 0561. Cal. 8mm. 26″ bbl. This ZB-26 is one of the guns rebuilt by Heinrich Krieghoff during WWII and has a Czech crest on receiver together with WaA63 eagle proof marks as well as Heinrich Krieghoff marked bolt with eagle proof mark. Bbl number does not match receiver number but does have eagle over 63 and eagle over swastika proof mark on bbl. Eagle over swastika final proofmark is visible on the top of the receiver at the forward edge of the magazine well. Markings on both sides of receiver indicate manufacture at Waffenwerke Brunn A.G. as well as engraved markings “JPL T AZ85653” just forward of the sight adjustment knob. This indicates, and this cataloger has confirmed that this arm was once in the possession of noted firearms enthusiast Dolf Goldsmith while he was living in California and this weapon was subsequently reactivated by Pat Tomlinson, his friend in Arizona. Buttplate number is 3620 which does not match SN. Bbl has two SNs, 33641 is struck through and A054. This lot includes one unmarked 30-round magazine. Firing mechanism functions smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. This is a National Firearms Act item, and requires BATF approval prior to transfer. PROVENANCE: Ex Dolf Goldsmith Collection; The class III weapons formerly on loan to Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is good with uniform coverage of a brown patina with some spots of old scale and areas, particularly on the left side of the receiver, where gray metal is showing through the patina. All metal parts, including the magazine, present this appearance which indicates that this gun saw field use. Further indication of this is that the bore is quite good with distinct rifling and is shiny and bright. Bolt face and bolt is also clean. This weapon has all the indicators of it being a soldiers weapon used in the field. Butt stock has a significant 2″ long ding and chip on the left side about 4″ from the receiver as well as some significant small gouges on the left side of the stock. Wooden hand grip is of a much lighter wood as is the bbl carrying handle. There is no doubt that this will become a prized possession to a WWII collector and/or machine gun shooting enthusiast. The provenance of ownership alone adds to the value of this gun because it is not only a WWII collectible, it is a weapon that has passed through the hands of significant collectors of NFA weapons. 46445-47 JWK47 C&R (13,000-18,000) – Lot 3759 |

Telescopic sight bracket numbered “S34” but sight tightening dovetail matches SN. Fusee cover appears to be an un-numbered armorer’s replacement.

**WW I ST. ETIENNE MANUFACTURED 1915 CHAUCHAT MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC).SN 26087. Cal. 8 MM Lebel. 22-1/4″ bbl. Six-pointed star arsenal marking and typical “SIDARME” and “C.S.R.G.” French designation markings and SN on left side of receiver. This weapon also has “SA” within a square on left side of receiver indicating that not only was this gun used in WW I by the French, but that after the war it was one of the guns sold to Finland, and taken into Finnish service. When the French modernized their military equipment many such arms were sold to Finland and other countries after WW I to the delight of French government. Includes one orig magazine which is also marked with “SA” within a square. SNs match between upper and lower assemblies. Bi-pod employs properly. Mechanism moves very smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval prior to transfer. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance extremely fine with about 90% of a black paint finish remaining on upper assembly and bi-pod with lower retaining about the same percentage of orig blue finish. Magazine is almost devoid of its orig finish and has turned a pleasing gray patina. Cocking handle also a pleasing gray patina. All screw slots exhibit damage. Wood is actually fine and very solid and serviceable, about the best this cataloger has seen. Bolt is near excellent, shiny and bright. Although the Chauchat gets a great deal of bad press as a poor machine gun or one that does not operate well, this stems largely from the American experience of an inadequate redesign to fire 30-06 combined with the fact that there are a number of poor condition and also, let’s face it, poorly manufactured specimens extent. Americans were taught to keep their bodies in a direct line behind rifles when shooting them, and doing this with the Chauchat results in a very uncomfortable experience. The body at a 45 degree angle when firing is much better. Also, orig ammunition for these guns has been very susceptible to deterioration over the years. There are specimens of this model and caliber that when fired using properly loaded modern made ammunition run just great. We fired exactly 100 rounds out of this specimen at the range in September of this year and had no stoppages or problems whatsoever. Can’t ask for any better than that. 49651-6 JWK51 C&R (3,000-5,000) – Lot 3767 |

**EXCEEDINGLY RARE MP 43 FITTED WITH ZF4 SCOPE RAIL (CURIO & RELIC).SN 6404K. 7.92 Kurtz. 16-1/4″ bbl. Outstanding and rare MP 43 German WW II assault rifle fitted on the right side of the receiver with a ZF4 scope rail. A small number of these guns were fitted with these rails as part of the German trials to field a gun which would be versatile to the needs of soldiers. The experiment with the ZF4 scope mounted on the receiver did not result in enough consistent hits so development went in a different direction. This particular specimen was made by ERMA with eagle over 280 and WAA44 proof marks indicating the receiver was stamped by MERTZ WERKE and final assembly made by ERMA. Beautiful near pristine buttstock is 5-5/8″ in height at the butt and marked “ayf” in the sling recess indicating ERMA Mfg. Bbl also marked with eagle over 280 indicating ERMA. Included with this lot is a reproduction leather sling and one orig MP 44 marked 30-rnd magazine. Parts appear matching including bbl, operating piston, bolt, receiver and buttstock. Bolt is earlier type without cut-out at extractor marked on underside “KAPSA” with eagle proof mark and SN on top of bolt. Action moves smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval for transfer. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance very good to extremely fine. Lustrous blue finish on majority of the receiver with the area around the scope rail a brown patina. Buttstock hardware of the same lustrous blue finish as receiver. Area of receiver on left side above mag housing has some areas of scattered light pitting and small areas of light brown corrosion. Bbl of same lustrous blue finish as receiver. Forearm metal heat shield more of a dull grey finish. Wooden buttstock and hand grips near excellent and extremely fine respectively. Bolt and operating piston extremely fine to near excellent. Clean shiny bore also extremely fine to near excellent. The fit and finish of this MP 43 is simply outstanding and one of the best this cataloger has ever seen.

**GERMAN POLICE ISSUED BERGMANN MP 18.1 SUB MACHINE GUN (CURIO & RELIC).SN 25279. Cal. 9mm. 8″ bbl. This MP 18.1 is one of the ones retrofitted by C.G Haenel with the 90 degree magazine housing and takes “C.G.HAENEL” manufactured stick magazines. Although these guns were originally fitted with angled magazine housings for the 32 rd Luger snail drum, after WWI many were retrofitted to take stick magazines which were considered an improvement for ease of manufacture and maintenance. This machine pistol is marked on top of its magazine housing “S.B. 848” (Schutzpolizei Berlin, Item/Weapon 848. It is also marked below the model markings with a “K” below a sunburst proof mark. Also marked below SN on the receiver with a Crown over “No” proof mark. Magazine housing is marked as manufactured by C.G. Haenel as is magazine. Receiver, bbl shroud, sight, magazine release latch, dis-assembly latch and lower assembly hardware including trigger guard and buttplate match SN. Bolt is numbered 5183. Magazine is a re-number to “24041”. Buttstock also matches SN and is dated “1920” on left side. There is a vacant threaded hole immediately forward of the bbl retention screw and this together with the mismatched bolt and the information on the current form 3 manufacturers block indicate that this is probably a re-activated gun that was at one time a “DEWAT”. It is fairly common that when these guns were re-activated the person who re-activated the gun would be listed in the manufacturers block. Included with this lot is a fine condition reproduction leather sling and one 20 rd magazine. Firing mechanism moves smoothly when operated by hand, this weapon appears fully functional. This is a National Firearms Act weapon and BATF approval of transfer is required. Current form 3 has an individuals name in block 3A under “Manufacturer/Importer”, although the gun certainly is as manufactured originally by Bergmann and C.G. Haenel. It is possible to request a correction through the BATF upon transfer. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is extremely fine to near excellent with what appears to be a dipped refinish, there are numerous very tiny pit marks underneath the bluing with a very small area of light pitting on the underside of the trigger guard assembly in line with the SN. Bolt is in the white. Lower assembly hardware within stock has a beautiful deep lustrous blue finish. Stock has some light handling marks and dings and has been lightly sanded but still presents very well and retains its visible Crown cartouche. Leather sling is near excellent and completely serviceable on what appears to be orig stock attachment hardware. Bore is extremely fine, shiny and bright with some very light pitting. This is a fine and handsome example of an early Sub Machine gun as issued during the Weimar era in Germany without any Nazi proof marks in evidence. 49658-1 JWK61 C&R (12,000-17,000) – Lot 3769 |

**GERMAN WW II MP 40 SUB-MACHINE GUN (REGISTERED DEACTIVATED CURIO & RELIC).SN 2744. Cal. 9 m. This MP 40 was manufactured very early in 1942 by C. G. Haenel using sub-contractor parts. Visible external numbers match. Bbl made and proof marked by C. G. Haenel. It is interesting to note that although the receiver tube is clearly dated “42” and proofed “cos” with “WaA 44” indicating Mertz Werke. The lower assembly which matches, is dated “41”, manufactured by Krupp, proof mark “cnd” with C. G. Haenel final proof of “fxo”. The two halves are unquestionably matching to each other and orig, however the receiver tube is dated “42” while the lower assembly is dated “41”. An interesting inconsistency which gives an indication to the order of assembly and SN application process in use at C. G. Haenel at that time. Bolt is numbered “25040” manufactured by Erma with eagle over “280” proof mark. Bbl resting bar is of the hard Bakelite type. Included is an orig leather sling and an orig set of tan cloth magazine pouches coded “lwm 44” with eagle proof mark over “WaA 196”. Also marked “MP 38u40”. Attached to this as found is an orig leather waist belt with an orig “GOTT MIT UNS” buckle. Included in this lot is a modern reproduction bbl that has been fitted with orig Erma parts which the consignor used to preserve the condition of the orig bbl currently on this gun. Also included in this lot are six orig and one reproduction 32-rnd magazines and one orig magazine loader. Firing mechanism moves smoothly when operated by hand. Although currently in a deactivated status on a Form 5, it appears it would take very little work to reactivate this gun. This can be accomplished by submitting a request for reactivation on an ATF Form 1 and paying the appropriate fee. Please note that although registered as SN 2744 the actual SN is 2744m. This can be requested to be corrected upon transfer. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval for transfer. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance good to very good with about 70% coverage turning to a brownish patina with scattered light pitting and darkening on metal surfaces. Appropriate proof marks clearly in evidence. Lower Bakelite in extremely fine condition with only minor handling marks. Swing out shoulder loop slightly loose when extended. Area of trunnion around bbl chamber face shows evidence of welding with subsequent machine work for reactivation. Bolt face is in good condition with some light corrosion. It appears it would take very little effort to completely restore this area to a firing condition. Bore is near excellent, shiny and bright. Leather sling and belt are in good serviceable condition. Very supple and soft to the touch. Buckle retains about 70% of its orig green paint with the exposed edges turning to a brown patina. Tan cloth magazine pouches in very good orig condition with some soiling and several small rust stains at the bottom of each cell as one might expect. It is rare to find an MP 40 which is as near matching as this one is and also includes such a nice orig set of magazines, pouches and belt. 49620-1 JWK37 C&R (15,000-20,000) – Lot 3770 |

**FANTASTIC ALL MATCHING STEYR MANUFACTURED WW II MP-40 (CURIO & RELIC).SN 4542. Cal. 9 mm. 9.9″ bbl. This 1942 manufactured MP-40 is particularly desirable because it apparently has all matching visible parts including sight hood, bbl, bbl nut, receiver, bolt, lower assembly cap and swing out shoulder loop. It is also unusual because the parts almost without exception were all manufactured by Steyr. Numerous eagle “WaA 623” proofs on metal parts with “bnz” marks on lower assembly buffer cup and next to rear sling slot. Only the trigger appears to have been from a different sub-contractor which is an eagle over “WaA 818”. Bbl resting bar is not present but retaining pin is. This absent part is readily available from numerous sources. Very little play in the extended shoulder loop. This lot includes two orig Nazi marked 32-rnd magazines. Firing mechanism moves smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval for transfer. Although registered as SN 4542 the actual SN is 4542d. This can be requested for correction upon transfer. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance very good to extremely fine with over 85% coverage, thinning to a grey patina on the bbl and also somewhat thinning on the receiver tube with loss of finish to all high points. Loss is consistent allowing the presentation of this firearm to remain very attractive. There is a more significant loss of finish just forward of the trigger guard where it is a uniform grey patina. Bore has strong, shiny rifling with some light corrosion just starting at the edge of the grooves. Overall a very fine collectible specimen, especially with its matching bolt and other parts. 49296-14 JWK32 C&R (10,000-15,000) – Lot 3773 |

Fine condition specimen of Japanese type 89 grenade discharger often erroneously referred to as “knee mortar”. This misnomer, derived from the curved baseplate which although intended to help set the mortar into the ground, was shaped such that a man might mistakenly think it could be braced against a leg.

EXCEEDINGLY SCARCE AND HIGHLY DESIRABLE DUAL BREN MACHINE GUN ANTI-AIRCRAFT MOUNT.This custom manufactured Dual Bren AA Mount combines a combination of orig and contemporary parts is one of only a handful in this country. It mounts two British Bren machine guns side by side which can be fired simultaneously by depressing the actuators. Strong adjustable tension springs keep the trigger actuating rods in the forward position. An orig British broad arrow proof 1941 dated rear sight bracket with rubber eye-cup are present with cross-hairs for the aiming of the guns when used on this mount. Gun cradle can be locked in an upright position so that the muzzles are pointing straight skyward and the removal of a simple pin allows them to swing down into position where the firer can shoot them at an almost horizontal plane and anywhere in between. Seat and cradle assembly pivot through 360 degrees and move very freely and smoothly as does the articulating cradle assembly. Seat and cradle is a separate assembly from pedestal which makes for easier transportation. The removal of three cotter pins and nuts would allow the removal of the cradle from the main pedestal shaft so that this could be transported in three pieces. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance extremely fine. Green and black painted finish with a couple of small chips showing some grey primer & small areas of bare metal, especially at the high edges. Rubber eye-cup, supple and serviceable. Spring tension appropriately strong. Pedestal very stable. This mount is way cool and a dream come true for anyone fortunate enough to own two Bren guns. With a little bit of machinist work, this could be adapted to other similar model machine guns. 49648-1 JWK59 (2,500-6,000) – Lot 3784 |
