Arms of the world are brought together for an unprecedented Premiere Firearms Auction April 29 – May 1. This will be RIAC’s first Premiere auction after establishing a new yearly sales record in the firearms auction world of over $51 million in yearly sales. The April sale is nothing but epic with fresh to market firearms, extremely low serial numbers, prototypes never before offered to the public and so many more exemplary examples. We are proud and deeply honored to have been chosen to market at auction the legendary Robert “The Bear” Bretherton Collection of European and American Semi-Automatic pistols, American Civil War Arms, Classic European high art arms, American and European sporting rifles and swords, incredible Colt revolvers, Winchester rifles and their competitors of the west, and combat and prototype arms of the allied and axis powers. Along with the Bretherton Collection we are equally proud to welcome the return of the Putnam Green/Sycamore Collection, the Piedmont Collection of World Class Kentucky Flintlocks and High End European Arms, the Royal Hunt Collection of Imperial German Hunting Trophies, the Walker West Collection, the Dr. Peters Collection and the John H. Bill Collection of Rare European Semi-automatic Pistols.
