Session 1, beginning at 10 am, will feature more than 100 lots of guns, ammunition and other militaria.

Items from the Ravenal collection will feature a rare Thirteenth or Fourteenth Century Chinese Ming dynasty gessoed, straw-bound mud-head of Kuan-Yin, with appliqué painted lacquer over straw and mud and inlaid agate eyes.
