Collectible Stuff.

[Adam Helmer]

While appraising some military arms for an attorney, I came across some really collectible stuff. I found a M1903 Rifle with an 11-42 barrel date, a M1903A3 rifle and a Union Switch & Signal M1911A1 .45 pistol and ALL were inspected and stamped by "FJA" Frank J. Atwood. Apparently the former owner collected "FJA" stuff.

One FJA (WWII Original stuff) item is neat, but several all in the same time period adds to the value. TIME and AVAILABILITY are factors when building a WWII collection and the value increases incrementally when several pieces are in the same lot. It would be difficult to find all these same items again. My appraisal reflected this criteria.
