| [Field & Stream] Headlined by a collection of weapons owned by Napoleon Bonaparte, the Rock Island Auction Company’s December Premier Auction took in a total of $25 million in sales, making it the second-highest grossing gun auction ever. The first-, third-, and fourth-highest also happened to be RIAC events, all taking place since last December, including last May’s Sale of the Century, which cleared $30 million. Safe to say, the company is on roll. In 2021, RIAC realized an astounding $121 million in sales, also a record. The recent auction opened on December 2nd with a Preview Day, showcasing 2,200 historic, collectible, and fine working guns. The auction itself began on December 3rd and concluded on the 5th, surpassing December 2020’s record haul of $22 million. The top-5 selling lots alone went for more than 5 million. Here they are, including ties. |
