The MKb.42(H), widely recognized as the precursor to the Sturmgewehr, saw its hammer price more than double its $120,000 estimate. Produced between 1942 and 1943, the weapon represents a pivotal shift in infantry tactics, allowing soldiers to switch between precision and suppressing fire using intermediate-sized cartridges. Because most of the original 8,000 to 12,000 units were deployed to the Eastern Front, surviving specimens are exceptionally scarce in the United States.

Collectors also pursued an amnesty-registered MG-34 machine gun, which fetched $150,000—exactly twice its high estimate. The piece stood out for its matching serial numbers on the bolt, barrel, and Bakelite butt, a rarity given the age and field usage of such equipment. Other notable sales included a DWM Model 1902 American Eagle Cartridge Counter Luger, which sold for $116,850, and a Japanese Type 100 machine gun from the Nagoya Arsenal, which cleared $110,700. A prototype Colt 1851 Navy Conversion revolver, documented in the William M. Locke collection, rounded out the top results at $56,580.
