Dear Fellow Collectors,

Welcome to our first live auction event of 2026! We are delighted to share with you our Fine Sporting Arms Auction catalog for our February 26, 2026 sale!

It feels like just yesterday we were rolling out our first ever Fine Sporting Arms Auction Catalog. And yet, here we are with lucky number 7! We are incredibly thankful to each and every one of our consignors who have trusted us with their material and for our buyers who have shown their ongoing passion for The Sporting Life!

In the collector car market, there is a budding trend called “Driving History.” Driving history means just what it says, to take a classic car (perhaps a $1mm Dusenberg) and to drive it! Why would a collector want to drive a car worth so much money? The answer is simple, the experience of driving a car that is 75+ years old brings back automotive history and shows us how far modern technology has come. Just like the gun market, we can “shoot history” and our current auction offering offers many great classics to do that with! American made history abounds in this auction and we are excited to celebrate American craftsmanship and ingenuity on our nation’s 250th birthday!

Our auction team is, we believe, the very best in the business! We absolutely want to hear from you prior to the auction so please take some time to yourself, review the catalog, and give us a call. We stand ready to assist in answering any questions that you have and helping you get signed up to participate in the sale. Just like the lottery, “you’ve got to be in it to win it!”

Be sure to make plans to join us on our preview day, Wednesday February 25th. Our gallery is open for preview at any time between now and then by appointment only. On the 25th we’ll be open to the public for preview and we’ll have our ever ascending in popularity preview party! We’ll be grilling, sharing charcuterie, cocktails, and enjoying fine arms, art, watches, & knives together.

We look forward to seeing you at the auction. In the mean time, enjoy the catalog and please DO call us with any questions about the auction. We’re here to help.

Good luck at the auction and THANK YOU for your shared passion of THE SPORTING LIFE!
