From Trench Warfare to Master-Crafted Steel: The Ultimate Firearms &amp; Blades Showcase

The catalog is anchored by a heavy-hitting selection of military surplus and precision rifles, including the matching-number Yugoslavian Zastava M48A, FN Commercial Sporterized Mausers, and the classic M1 Carbine. Shotgun collectors will find everything from the rare, recoil-reducing Browning Japan 12-gauge to 1920s-era American Gun Company "Trade Brand" single-shots. For the blade enthusiast, we are proud to offer a spectacular collection of mint Randall Made knives—true legends of American craftsmanship. This lineup features the formidable Model 12-11 Confederate Bowie, the specialized Model 17 Astro Survival knife, and the classic Model 14 Attack, many featuring pristine stag handles and original sheaths. Those focused on modern utility will also find an impressive array for the concealed carry collector, including Sig Romeo red dot optics and a massive inventory of specialty defense rounds like .45 ACP +P Underwood and .38 Special LRN. Whether you are hunting for a Birmingham-made Parker-Hale Enfield or a high-capacity magazine grouping for a tactical sidearm, the breadth of gear available here is unmatched.
These items represent a time when tools were built to last lifetimes. There is a visceral thrill in Chasing History—finding a 1918 Amberg GEW 98 that still bears the flaming bomb of the U.S. Army Ordnance Department, or feeling the perfect balance of a hand-fitted Randall Arkansas Toothpick. As Auctioneers of antiques. Collectors of cool. Veterans of vintage, we understand that these aren’t just lots; they are tangible connections to the marksmen, soldiers, and craftsmen who came before us.

We are always seeking quality consignments for our upcoming sales. Please send photos of your items to consign@donleyauctions.com. Then we'll make your collection "fit in your wallet."
Preview is Friday before the auction - noon-7pm, and doors open at 8am the day of the auction.&nbsp;
Pickup is immediately following the auction or by appointment. Please call 815-923-7000 to schedule. All purchasers of firearms that will be picking up at the auction hall, must fill out a Form 4473 and wait the allotted time before their firearm is eligible for pick up.
