There will be an Auction on February 7, 2024 at the office of Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers, 64 4th Avenue, in Cranston, RI. Phone 401 533 9980. The Director is Mr. Joel Bohy at  Joel@BruneauandCo.com

 

The item will be a Model 1941 Johnson Semi-automatic Rifle with serial number S-10. It was initially advertised in "Man at Arms for the Gun Collector" on the inside front cover of the October 2023 issue.

 

The S-10 was part of a small series of Tool-room Samples of the rifle prior to the full production on the product back in the 1940's. According to Mr. Bohy's information on provenance, this rifle initially became the property of a Mr. Harry Lindbnerg who was the owner of "The VIKING Bar" and restaurant, which was located very near the Johnson plant on the border of Cranston and Warwick, RI. during and after WWII. The business was destroyed in a fire later on, but the rifle survived and become the property of others who lived in the local area.

 

Anyone interested in bidding on this rifle should contact Mr. Bohy or his staff to get on the bidders list. This is a good opportunity to obtain a rare piece of history which appears, per the photographs we saw, to be in very good condition.     Ed Johnson
