About This Auction
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another sensational RIAC premier firearms auction! I don’t know what else to say other than that I am very excited about this auction, and I am very excited about our future. The Texas expansion has outperformed our wildest expectations. We have had enormous opportunities to expose new people to the exciting world of fine and historic arms collecting and we have built an amazing team down here in short order.
Our people are our strength. They always have been, and they always will be. Our people, the RIAC family, work with passion and live with passion. We make it a point to try to harness that passion in everything we do. It defines our brand, sell with passion, and sell with style. This catalog is the triumphant result.
As for the sale, it has a tremendous energy to it. Pound for pound, this is as good of an offering of fine, historic, rare, and high-condition firearms that has been presented in our field. The sale includes icons from the legends of collecting as well as fresh-to-market, never-before-published collection-defining opportunities.
To our consignors, I want to say thank you for the opportunity to work for you and your families, and in turn, thank you for the opportunity to work with the finest firearms on the planet.
To you, our clients, I want to say thank you for your continued support. I believe we have what you have been waiting for on these pages.
Come see us in Texas. This is not one to miss.
