Must . . . not . . . mortgage . . . my . . . pension . . .

There’s a firearms auction coming up in March at the well-known firm of James D. Julia Inc.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many ‘grail guns’ available before!  Here are only a few of the remarkable firearms for sale.

Cased Siamese Borchardt C-93 Pistol with Stock & Accessories

Part of Evergreen Ventures Class III machine-gun collection

Confederate bronze Napoleon cannon with carriage and limber –
the only Confederate Napoleon cannon ever offered at auction

Remington Model 1858 Army revolver, holster and knife,
in 1876 and taken from his body by Indians

Smith & Wesson 1950 Target revolver engraved by Don Gower,
property of the late Elmer Keith

Spanish bronze mortar, 1784, from Springfield Arsenal Artillery Collection
(click here for a video of it being fired)

There are many more rare firearms to be seen at the link.  It’s like Mecca for firearms enthusiasts . . . a very expensive Mecca, unfortunately!

(I think Murphy’s Law should buy that Spanish blackpowder mortar.  He can use it to fire a basket of tennis balls from his porch, to be chased down and returned by his dogs.  As a bonus, he might be able to bounce the balls noisily off the roofs of some of his more annoying neighbors!)
