Rather than skim through dozens of guns, we decided to go deep on just 14 standout lots from Holt’s July Sealed Bid Sale — and every single one is different. Whether it’s design, origin, age, or just plain weirdness, these guns stood out and demanded a closer look.
From one of the finest semi-autos of a generation to WWII-era rifles, obscure European gems, and even a Purdey from 1882 — this lineup truly covers the strange, the rare, and the fascinating.
This is our full walkthrough and honest commentary — the guns we loved, the ones that surprised us, and the ones we’re still not quite sure about.
What’s in the video:
✅ One of the best semi-autos of my generation
✅ 1882 Purdey self-opener
✅ Dr. Franco Beretta Prestige – Italian elegance
✅ Steyr M95 converted to .410 – trench gun turned garden gun
✅ Franz Sodia, built during WWII
✅ Dynamit Nobel Paragon – German engineering oddity
✅ Sabatti Jaguar – a bold Italian beast
✅ Pair of W.J. Blanch boxlocks – classic English doubles
✅ Crossover-stocked Pape 28 bore – built for someone very specific
✅ Stunning lightweight game gun – a joy to shoulder
✅ Scottish hammer gun – simply beautiful
✅ Gamba with an alloy action – light and unique
✅ Unknown Miroku – mystery Japanese quality
✅ And yes… a rifle for once!
