An Unveiling

You made it.


You waited the week for the Unveiling and now your patience will be rewarded.  Appropriate for this time of year filled with harvest and fruition, prepare to feast your eyes on a absolute bounty of Colts.  Revolvers, long guns, and early semi-autos are all here in spectacular form.  Pre-Civil War revolvers mingle with rare cutaway pistols.  Remarkable cased and engraved special order pieces compete with presentation arms to be the most exquisite.  It's all here.  You've been patient.  Now enjoy.


First we'll show you the guns that you've seen sneak peeks of all this week on our social media pages.

Would you believe it if we said that wasn't all of them?  The assemblage of Colts in RIAC's December 2014 Premiere Firearms Auction is simply stunning and goes far beyond the handful of guns shown throughout the last week and in today's post.  Already there are nearly 600 Colts in this sale, over 230 Winchesters, and excellent selections of Henry rifles, Savages, Walthers, swords and other edged weapons, Parker Bros shotguns, Smith & Wessons, Springfields, Lugers, and more.

Want to see more?  Head over to the RIAC webpage and see our Photo Preview, which will grow steadily until the Online Catalog is available.  If you're as serious as we are about collecting, we know these Colts will have your tongue wagging.  They were definitely worth the wait.
