Manufactured on contract, the Stevens Model 620

firepower. Adopted for the Army and Marine Corps for World War II, the 620 remained in service for Korea and Vietnam. A single brass bead sight is installed on the bayonet lug, with a six-hole heat shield, cylinder choke, the three-line Chicopee Falls address on the right side of the barrel ahead of the “P/flaming bomb” stamps and the gauge and 2 3/4 inch chamber markings on the left.

Scarce Remington-UMC Model 10-R Slide Action Riot Shotgun - Serial no. U160733, 12 gauge, 20 inch round bbl., blue finish, walnut stock. This is a very fine example of a scarce Remington/UMC Model 10-R, factory built as a riot shotgun. A small amount of these Model 10-R riot shotguns were sold to the U.S. Military for use in World War I, with this example void of any U.S. markings and
likely sold commercially. The Remington Model 10 shotgun was originally designed by the well respected engineer John Pedersen. Serial n of the receiver. The barrel is correctly roll marked with the Remington circled “REP” factory proof along with “160773” (very likely a factory error

LOT 332 Harrington & Richardson Model 60 Reising Semi-Automatic Carbine - Serial no. 819, 45 ACP cal., 18 inch round bbl., blue finish, walnut stock. Developed just prior to World War II, the Reising line of pistol-caliber weapons was envisioned as a replacement or substitute for the then-standard Thompson line of SMGs. While the Army didn’t bite, having a good number of Thompsons and a substitute in the M3, the Marine Corps was hungry enough to put out a contract order. Two models (the full length 50 and the compact 55 for airborne) were delivered to the USMC, and a third, the semi-automatic Model 60, was marketed for plant defense and police use. This particular Model 60 is finished in blue, with a “PS” stamp on the rear of the barrel, casehardened two-position safety switch and the three-line address, model and caliber markings on top of the frame. Smooth pistol grip stock, flat steel buttplate and a tan canvas sling.
