Rock Island Auction Company is gearing up for its first premiere firearms auction of 2015 and the April 24-26 event is shaping up to be a doozy.
The Illinois-based auction house will have over 2,700 firearms and 3,000 lots crossing the block. As always some of the most historic firearm manufacturers will be part of the event, with RIA ready to auction off more than 500 Colts, 400 Winchesters and 300 military arms.
The auction will be highlighted by four incredible collections that should leave rare-gun fanatics' tongues hanging.

April will be bittersweet in one respect, it will feature the final installment of the iconic Ralph Shattuck collection. Described as a “dream collection,” Shattuck had an unmatched catalog of Lugers, Mauser and Borchardts.
Those who have a taste for 7.65mm pistols will be left drooling over Dr. Joel Glovsky’s collection. Dr. Glovsky is renown for the most complete collection of the German-born caliber, amassing rare prototypes, tool-room samples and test models in 60 year of chasing these pistols.
Finally, RIA will host part two of the William Baird collection. Filled with Colt revolvers of every stripe, collectors who yearn for historic American wheelguns won’t get enough.
