Orig GI baseplate, bipod, and M4 sight without case, as well as a web muzzle cover and strap are included. Bipod marked “M” and dated 1945. Firing pin present in end cap.

ORIGINAL, NEVER USED “TEXAS TRAVELAIR” VIETNAM ERA MAC-10 MACHINE GUN COVERT OPERATIONAL BRIEFCASE.

Unused leather covered briefcase with brass hinges, hard rubber feet and spring loaded “Crest Lock Co., Inc.” latches. Included with this lot is a Desert Publications “MAC-10 COOKBOOK”. In many ways, reminiscent of cases seen in spy thriller films of the 1960’s. This actually is a covert operations briefcase from the Vietnam era designed to hold a Powder Springs MAC-11 .380 ACP machine gun with suppressor, with slight modification other models can be used. It is fitted internally so that such a weapon fits perfectly inside and may be carried with the bolt cocked and ready to fire. The muzzle fits into a recess in the side of the case and the trigger is actuated using a springed lever at the bottom of the case. On the left side, near the top, is what appears to be an identification card slot which any ordinary businessman would have. It actually conceals the hole where projectiles will exit when the firing lever is actuated at the bottom of the case. The operative utilizing this case would approach the intended target with the case under one arm, and then when close enough would depress the lever firing and then walk away. The briefcase would fill with smoke and expended brass cases and there would be some smoke exuding from the case, but the deed would be done and this case is far less conspicuous then getting on or off an airplane or walking down the street with a suppressed machine pistol under a coat. CONDITION: Extremely fine and never utilized with no evidence of firing residue inside its green wool lined interior. Velcro straps intact and serviceable. Brass latches and fittings are a pleasing, aged patina. Exterior leather of case in very fine condition. Blued steel lever has some light surface corrosion. This is a wonderful bit of espionage history from the classic heyday when it captured the imagination of the public. Very scarce item to find today in unused condition. 51804-1 JWK (1,500-2,000) – Lot 1712A

**AMERICAN ARMS AMERICAN 180 M-2 MACHINE GUN (FULLY TRANSFERABLE).

SN D01041. Cal. .22 LR. 15″ bbl. This nifty little .22 machine gun utilizes .22 LR ammo only and includes a spare bbl with horizontal forearm, without front sight or flash hider, orig all metal mag, a spare “E&L” plastic after market mag, and one drum driving mechanism. It is clear that someone had the Thompson machine gun in mind, at least superficially when this was designed. The ribbed bbl, vertical foregrip, pistol grip, and detachable buttstock all are reminiscent of Thompson features. Rear sight is very reminiscent of the U.S. 30 carbine. Markings are located on the underside of the receiver on either side of a large knurled knob which allows for the removal of the bbl and fore grip assembly. This is a nice feature as it allows this gun to be disassembled for ease of transport in a very compact package. Cocking handle is on the left side, safety on the right side. Due to its rotating pan mag on top of the receiver reminiscent of the Russian DP-28, the sights of this machine gun are quite high. This neat magazine system utilizes a hand-wound spring device to rotate the drum on a steel plate which brings the rnds within the mag inline to feed into the gun. When these are fired, the sound has been likened to that of a sewing machine. 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 weapon is fully transferable on an ATF form 3 or form 4. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine to near excellent with a deep lustrous blued finish on bbl and receiver, and top cover. Black enamel finish on take-down knob and trigger guard. Rather glossy varnish on wooden furniture in very good condition with some slight dings and handling marks. Bore is shiny and bright on vertical forend bbl, not quite as shiny and bright on the spare horizontal bbl. Orig steel mag in extremely fine condition, as is driving mechanism. There is a ghost of a matching SN to the gun on the spring winding mechanism. Both pans appear to be in good serviceable condition. These are popular recreational machine guns as ammo is plentiful and clean up is straight forward. This is going to be a lot of fun for somebody. The fact that this has two bbls, one with each type of fore-end style, enhances this package. 51650-3 JWK724 (5,000-10,000) – Lot 1709

Manufactured by Armalite in California, this machine gun utilizes a piston design to operate the action, developed as an alternative design to the M-16/AR-15 series of weapons. It is a viable competitor, although the M-16 won out for military contract as it utilized fewer moving parts, none the less in operation it is very similar with both full and semi-auto settings, provision for mounting a bayonet, flip-up and adjustable for windage rear sight with rotating post front sight and a standard mag capacity of 20 rnds. One definite plus to this model over the M-16 is that it has a hinged folding buttstock which makes it possible to make it more compact package. Another innovative feature at the time was an ambidextrous saftey selector switch. This rifle includes an orig Armalite 2.75X 20 mm scope with scope covers and four orig Armalite 20 rnd mags. 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 weapon is fully transferable on an ATF form 3 or form 4. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is exceedingly fine to near excellent, attractive gray, smooth finish, with some high edge wear at scope attachment. Composite furnishings also in near excellent condition with some very slight handling marks. Scope optics are clear. Bore is excellent, shiny, and bright. Three of the mags are near excellent, the other has more of a gray finish consistent with the rifle. These guns are very comfortable and accurate to shoot and the piston design of operation continues to attract significant following in military circles. 51650-2 JWK723 (8,000-15,000) – Lot 1708

**ICONIC FUNCTIONAL COLT M16A1 MACHINE GUN WITH GRENADE LAUNCHER USED AS PRIMARY GUN IN THE FILM “SCARFACE”.

SN 9310593. Cal. .223/37mm. From the personal collection of a very discerning collector, this is the actual primary gun used in the filming of the Al Pacino film “Scarface” which immortalized the phase “Say hello to my little friend!” It is an interesting fact that the functional 37mm grenade launcher was made in a garage and fitted to this orig Colt M16A1 machine gun for use in the film. Upon close inspection one can see that this is the case with the double action only trigger, all aluminum construction with spring latch on the left side of the tube. Hex head fasteners were used to hold the mechanism together and the mechanism to the rifle. Flip up grenade launcher sight is attached to the hard composite hand guard with Phillips head screws. Included with this rifle is a second upper assembly with triangular hand guards in classic military configuration which has hand etched on left side “No 38 5288406”. Also included in this lot is a letter provided by the consignor which identifies this machine gun by SN as the primary functional gun used in the iconic 1983 film.

Spare upper bore is also shiny and bright with uniform and apparently intentional scratching of the metal surfaces to the rear of the hand guard leaving about 70% of the finish remaining. Hand guards show some definite handling marks. Stock and hand guards on gun show some brassing from use but it’s pretty hard to resist the “cool” factor of holding this iconic film, and fully functional machine gun. 51655-1 JWK128 (25,000-50,000) – Lot 1703

Additionally, there is an orig leather gun carrying strap included, an orig “SA” marked German ammo can with two orig Nazi marked MG-34 fifty round belt segments with fifty rounds of nickle plated dummy cartridges for display, and twenty-seven 15 round boxes of orig German “Fur MG” brass cased 8mm ball cartridges.

Grips are in good condition. Left grip panel is chipped at the front toe. This does not affect serviceability in any way. Bolt is in excellent condition with evidence of firing ring on bolt face. Rails and bolt locking lugs in excellent condition. Bolt slides forward smoothly by gravity and all indications are this would be a very fine shootable specimen. Bore near excellent, shiny and bright. Exterior bluing on bbl consistent with rest of gun. Forcing cone at muzzle in very fine serviceable condition, cleaned with some brown patina on the interior. Threads at muzzle and on booster in fine clean condition. Bakelite butt has typical scrapes and handling marks, retention screw at rear a replacement. Some very minor chipping of the Bakelite where it meets the socket, hardly noticeable. Finding a Bakelite butt on an MG-42 is unusual. This gun overall is exceedingly nice and not worn out or beat up as some of these are. The dull finish is consistent with late 1944 and 1945 changes in surface preparation procedures. Lafette mount is in good serviceable condition with orig overhead fireplate intact, Nazi marked SN 5888. Dark green re-paint over what may be desert tan. Pads are in good serviceable condition. This is one of the most highly sought after German machine guns and rightly so, because they are tremendously fun at the range with a sound that is uniquely distinctive. They also can be readily converted to .308 using post-war parts without permanently altering the gun. This set up with its Alpine Lafette makes a particularly attractive package. 51478-1 JWK701 (32,000-42,000) C&R – Lot 1701

**EXTREMELY SCARCE KRIEGHOFF FG-42 2ND MODEL MACHINE GUN (FULLY TRANSFERABLE).

SN J.M.C. 04254. Cal. 8mm. 19-3/4″ bbl. Iconic and penultimate model German machine gun FG 42 Type G (2nd Model with 90 degree hand grip). Firing as a select fire machine gun, this rifle utilizes the full power 8mm Mauser cartridge and includes one orig 20-rnd magazine. Production of the earliest FG-42’s occurred in 1942 with the final prototype, the early Type C Model being presented to Hitler by Hermann Goring as a Christmas present. Subsequently, Hitler decreed that the Fallschirmjagergewehr 42 should be issued to the paratroopers. Specifications demanded a light, but robust automatic weapon, capable of reliable, accurate, long-range fire. There was an evolution of models culminating in this G Model offered here. Heinrich Krieghoff of Suhl with code (fzs) made most of the FG-42 type weapons which totaled, including all models, fewer than 7,500 units. This particular specimen was at one time deactivated by cutting the receiver underneath the wooden buttstock in two places. It was later re-welded and re-manufactured as a full transferable machine gun and will transfer as such. Reweld is totally invisible when buttstock is in place and does not affect the serviceability in any way. Firing mechanism moves smoothly when operated by hand, this weapon appears fully functional. Marked on underside of receiver behind pistol grip, “J.M. CARNEY / 7243 MAIN ST / WESTMORELAND, N. Y. ” with additional, “J.M.C. 04254”. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval prior to transfer. This weapon is fully transferable on an ATF form 3 or form 4. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish extremely fine to near excellent. Orig smooth grey finish. Starting to turn a pleasing patina in places with about 90% of the finish remaining overall. Bore is extremely fine and bright with strong rifling. Grips are also an extremely fine, pleasing red-brown Bakelite. Wood is also extremely fine to near excellent with a small chip on the left side of the butt right at the very edge. It is this catalogers estimation after more than 30 years collecting NFA firearms that there are very few registered specimens of all models of the FG-42 within the United States. This offering is a significant opportunity for the advanced German military weapon enthusiast. These guns seldom surface for sale, and this specimen is exceedingly attractive, and would make a great display specimen, or gather crowds at the range. 51834-1 JWK (150,000-200,000) – Lot 1700

**FANTASTIC, RAREST OF THE RARE, EARLY KRIEGHOFF 1ST MODEL GERMAN FG-42 MACHINE GUN (C&R) (DEWAT).

SN 190. Cal. 8mm. 19-3/4″ bbl. Fresh to the market, this VERY low SN, Type E 1st Model FG-42 exhibits some pre-Type E features and was purchased by the current consignor as a DEWAT for a paltry sum from a Portsmouth, New Hampshire souvenir shop in April 1968 and held in his private collection until recent consignment to Julia’s. It includes an orig magazine, sling and bayonet. When originally purchased, the magazine base was broken and the magazine release lever and pin were missing. These were replaced with new made parts about 20 years ago. The rifle is otherwise all matching except for the bi-pod which is SN “497” and the bolt carrier which is SN “656”. This is quite a low number SN gun. This model and specimen would have been produced very late in 1943. These Type E guns have buttstocks made of thin pressed, smooth, sheet steel with butt welds visible, with the finish being a black enamel with blued bbl. This gun exhibits an early smooth pressed steel buttstock which is a holdover from an early pre “E” prototype. This early developmental model of the FG-42 is immediately recognizable with its angled hand grip which distinguishes it from the later 2nd Model. This weapon has been de-activated by plugging the chamber with weld and neatly welding all around the area where the bbl fits to the receiver. An accomplished gunsmith/machinist could carefully remove this weld and open up the chamber. Until this operation is done, there is no way of knowing whether the chamber is intact or not, but even in the worst case, a machinist could make an insert to replace the chamber. Often, the careful removal of the weld will result in the discovery that the chamber is just fine and needs no further work. The bolt face and other operating parts appear to be in good serviceable condition. 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 weapon is fully transferable on an ATF form 3 or form 4 as Curio and Relic eligible. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish extremely fine with about 75-80% black enamel finish on alloyed parts overall, with a much higher percentage of blued finish on the steel bbl. It is of extreme interest to note that the name “Hubler” is hand inscribed on the wooden forearm of this arm, no doubt the orig soldier’s personalization of his weapon to ensure that it did not get mixed up with somebody elses gun. There can be no doubt that the loss of finish to this rifle occurred during war time service. Black enamel finish almost completely worn away on either side of alloy handgrips with remainder in recessed areas and on back of grip frame. Consistent loss of finish at high edges. The wear pattern and loss of enamel paint is consistent with field use. Internal mechanism parts are clean and appear well cared for. Unable to determine condition of bore due to weld in the chamber. Wood forend has numerous dings, bruises and handling marks but is still completely serviceable. The extreme scarcity of early low SN FG-42 machine guns registered for private ownership as curio & relics essentially supersedes the minor consideration of having to go through the straight forward reactivation process and submission of a Form 1 to reactivate this weapon. The discerning collector needs to take note of the opportunity to acquire this landmark early model of the German paratroopers enigmatic and iconic machine gun from WWII. 51831-1 JWK (175,000-250,000) C&R – Lot 1699

**FANTASTIC DWM 1898 BRASS ARGENTINE MAXIM MACHINE GUN ON TRIPOD (C&R).

SN 138. Cal. 7.65 mm Argentine. 28″ bbl. Absolutely tremendous 1898 Brass Maxim with all visible matching numbers except for extractor (74) and DWM 7.65 mm Argentine bbl (38 C) currently in gun. Booster is a faithful unmarked copy of a MG-08 booster. It is important to note that this lot also includes the original matching numbered (138) 7.65 Argentine copper washed barrel and original brass matching numbered muzzle bearing. Gun is mounted on an original Acland standard Argentine tripod SN 143. Accessories included are an original Zeis 2 x 12 optic SN 2902 in original leather case SN 2164, spare firing pin, and lock mainspring, 4 aluminum Turkish maxim belts, 3 non-tabbed cloth Vickers belts, and approximately 1300 rnds of live 7.65 mm Argentine rounds of berdan primed ammunition. A complete fine condition 5 volume set of “Ehinn” The Machine Gun Publication and one edition of collector grade “The Devil’s Paintbrush”. Also a framed photo of Hiram Maxim in front of a virtually identical maxim gun with his signature from a letter directly beneath. This gun must be one of the last Argentine contract guns to be supplied with a brass jacket and fusee cover. Brass plate affixed to top cover indicates this gun underwent conversion in 1909 for firing improved Spitzer ammunition. Conversion consisted of fitting a much shorter rear sight. The top of the trunnion underneath the feedblock is neatly stamped, “R W D / SALEM, VA”. This, together with the original deactivated barrel, and replaced extractor leads this cataloger to the conclusion that this gun was at one time a DEWAT (inactivated gun) which was reactivated by a known collector Richard (Dick) W. Davis. 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 weapon is fully transferable on an ATF form 3 or form 4 as Curio & Relic eligible. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is outstanding, original deep lusterous blue just starting to thin with some high edge wear. Brass has been polished at some point but lettering is clear on brass plates on top cover and fusee cover. Lettering is clear on backplate and water jacket as well. Top of feedblock has been polished a bit more and the “13” of the SN is much less distinct but still very discernible. Feedway shows very little use. Muzzle booster finish very good with actual muzzle finish thinned to a gray patina. Drainplug and cork hardware present at muzzle on reproduction brass chain, thumbpieces and cork not present. Fill plug very fine on reproduction chain. Bolt, cross-head and rails in extremely fine condition. Bore is very good with shiny lands getting somewhat dark in the grooves. Tripod extremely fine, matching numbers (143), with over 90% black painted finish on lags. Original leather seat serviceable, but flaking away. Optic is clear. Aluminum belts appear complete and serviceable as do cloth belts. Original deactivated barrel drilled through chamber horizontally with chamber heavily welded. Unable to discern condition of bore. With appropriate skilled effort this bbl could be restored to a firing condition. Of the relatively few brass Maxim guns on the collector market this is one of the very best. This is the one you have been looking for. If you have one already you should look at this one closely and consider upgrading. 51386-2 JWK (30,000-40,000) C&R – Lot 1698
