At 12 Noon Sunday 04 June 2017 Steve Ritter Auctioneering will start selling about 13 firearms ahead of a large collection of other antiques and collectibles. The firearms include a late 1940s - early 1950s Smith & Wesson K-32 Masterpiece, 6-inch barrel, 5-screw frame, diamond Magna service grips, in a gold-colored S&W box with a S&W style waxed paper. No mention of paperwork or tools. There is also an Irwin-Pederson U.S. Cal .30 M1 Carbine, made in April or May 1943. These are full-fledged collector's items, and both are stated to be in new condition. The auction will be at the Earnest Shepherd Youth Center, 610 E. Shepherd Rd, Liberty MO 64068. For more information, see Ritter's web site, www dot ritterauction dot com.
I have specifically mentioned these two firearms because the S&W K-32 Masterpiece deserves a new owner who will regularly shoot it precisely on a decent range and because the Irwin-Pederson M-1 Carbine is so rare. Depending on your personal interests, others may be more interesting to you. Note that I have no connection with Ritter or the owners of any of the property offered for sale, and that I have not personally seen or handled any of the property offered for sale.
But when I saw "S&W K-32 Masterpiece" in the Ritter ad, I had to learn more! I admit that I'm a financially frustrated Smith & Wesson revolver loony.
I haven't posted this in the Smith & Wesson Forum because, if I correctly understand that site's rules, posting about sales not my own is forbidden.
