CRANSTON, R.I. – March 26, 2022 – Senmer — Bruneau & Co.’s spring Historic Arms & Militaria auction, planned for Saturday, April 9th, is loaded with over 300 items focusing on the French & Indian War, the American Revolution, the Civil War, World Wars I and II and modern firearms. Offerings will be ideal for anyone from the beginning collector to advanced collections.

The sale will be held live in the Bruneau & Co. gallery located at 63 Fourth Avenue in Cranston. It will also be hosted on several online bidding platforms. This will be just the third Historic Arms & Militaria auction for the firm, in the newly created Arms & Militaria department headed up by director Joel Bohy, a seasoned veteran of the arms and militaria scene.

“I’m excited we are offering the personal collection of Erik Goldstein, a meticulously curated selection of swords, bayonets, historical artifacts and documents from the early to late 18th century, both Colonial American and British,” Mr. Bohy said. “Erik is a highly respected individual within the militaria the industry and we are thrilled to be handling this material.”

One of the prize pieces in Mr. Goldstein’s collection, and a solid candidate for top lot of the auction, is an American-marked British pattern 1742 musket, made in England circa 1746, .79 bore with a walnut stock (est. $15,000-$20,000). The weapon, overall 61 ¾ inches in length, has an “I” (or “J”) carved on the right side of the butt, brass fittings and a copper nose band.

A British Royal Welsh Fuziliers Hanger (circa 1750-1760), 30 ¾ inches long, should finish at $8,000-$10,000. The sword has a brass hilt with heart-shaped guard, seamed cast-brass stippled grip with a crown over Prince of Wales three feathers, a banner marked “ICH DIEN, and a slightly curved blade marked on both sides with a fleur-de-lis.

A miniature portrait of Lt. Steele of the Royal Welsh Fuzileers (England, circa 1764) is just 2 1/8 inches tall by 1 7/16 inches wide and has a pre-sale estimate of $2,000-$3,000. Conservation photos show the portrait was painted on a playing card. Housed in a gold case, the portrait is signed ‘BK 1764’ and shows Lieutenant Steele in his British uniform.
