Collector's Elite Auctions has opened its February collection, featuring hundreds of exceptional modern and collector-grade firearms that span Italian presentation shotguns, modern cinematic pistols, iconic German subgun derivatives and advanced modular precision rifles. Bidding is live now, with many lots starting at one cent and closing Sunday evening, Feb. 15.
Renato Gamba Concorde "The Naked Lady" Over-Under Shotgun
The Pasotti name is closely associated with the traditional Italian engraving community centered in Gardone Val Trompia near Brescia, Italy, a region long recognized for producing some of the world's finest sporting shotguns and master engravers. Pasotti engraving represents the classic Italian bulino and hand-cut scroll tradition, defined by crisp linework, deep shading and intentional artistic composition rather than machine-applied decoration. On this Renato Gamba, the engraving is not merely ornamental. It features a fully executed high-detail figural scene known as "The Naked Lady," framed by flowing scroll and carefully relieved backgrounds that give the stainless receiver depth and contrast.
From a collector standpoint, engraver-attributed work elevates this shotgun well beyond standard production status. The Pasotti signature ties this Concorde to the respected Brescia-region engraving tradition and gives the piece a clear artistic identity. According to the owner, this example has been test fired once, with no evidence observed to suggest otherwise.
Renato Gamba shotguns carry historical weight rooted in the gunmaking culture of Gardone Val Trompia, where generations of craftsmen specialized in barrels, actions and fine sporting arms. This Concorde exemplifies why collectors pursue engraved Italian over-unders. It is functional artwork that blends Italian manufacture, bold figural engraving and regional heritage into a presentation-grade centerpiece that appeals to both fine shotgun collectors and engraved firearm enthusiasts.
Staccato / Taran Tactical Innovations 2011 JW3 Combat Master
The JW3 Combat Master stands as one of the most collectible modern pistols of the 21st century, occupying a unique position where elite competition engineering, limited availability and cultural significance intersect. Closely tied to John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the JW3 Combat Master became an instantly recognizable icon, transforming a purpose-built 2011 platform into a defining artifact of contemporary firearms history. Limited production, unmistakable TTI configuration and direct lineage to race-proven competition enhancements place this pistol far beyond a standard custom build.
More than a cinematic prop, each JW3 Combat Master embodies a specific era of collaboration between STI and Taran Tactical Innovations, combining competition-grade internals, signature slide work and aggressive ergonomics into a pistol that is mechanically significant and culturally influential. As demand for historically relevant modern combat pistols continues to grow, the JW3 Combat Master has established itself as a cornerstone piece for serious collectors.
This example benefits Charlie Foxtrot Ops, a nonprofit organization supporting veterans and law enforcement personnel coping with PTSD and challenges transitioning to civilian life.
Taran Butler's decades-long competition resume underpins every detail of the Combat Master. From tuned internals to enhanced controls and ergonomics, each cut and component reflects a singular focus on speed, consistency and reliability. The result is a refined evolution of the 2011 platform that blends elite performance pedigree with lasting collector appeal.
Also featured is a no-reserve penny auction for a Heckler & Koch SP5K-PDW semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9mm, manufactured in 2020 and offered in excellent condition with original accessories, documentation and a comprehensive set of included equipment. Additional items include a custom lockable Pelican 1495 hard case and a Trijicon MRO green-dot optic with original box and accessories.
The SP5K-PDW is the civilian sporting counterpart to the legendary MP5K, with the "K" designation derived from the German word kurz, meaning short. Its compact barrel and receiver configuration made the MP5K one of the most recognizable close-quarters weapons of the modern era.
Manufactured in Heckler & Koch's Oberndorf, Germany factory, the SP5K-PDW retains critical elements of the MP5 and MP5K lineage. Precision-machined components, exceptional fit and finish, and consistent quality reflect production on the same lines and by the same workforce responsible for MP5 manufacturing over decades. For collectors, the SP5K-PDW represents one of the closest civilian connections to an iconic military and law enforcement platform, with enduring demand driven by authenticity and German manufacture.
Nemesis Arms Valkyrie Bolt-Action Rifle
Rounding out the auction is the Nemesis Arms Valkyrie; an ambitious and highly engineered modular precision bolt-action rifle offered in a penny-start auction format.
The Valkyrie is built around a PVD-treated 8620 steel upper receiver that accepts both right- and left-hand bolts, both included, making it fully ambidextrous. Its tool-free, indexing barrel system allows caliber changes in under a minute without sacrificing headspace or repeatable accuracy. Supported calibers include .243 Winchester, 6.5 mm Creedmoor, .260 Remington and .308 Winchester, with optional support for .300 WSM using a dedicated bolt.
Precision machining, EDM-cut raceways and a robust bolt design contribute to smooth cycling and reliable operation. A hand-tightened barrel nut with a spring-loaded plunger ensures return to zero after disassembly, a feature critical for transport and field use. Paired with a collapsible stock, adjustable ergonomics and a match-grade Timney trigger, the Valkyrie delivers sub-MOA capability and long-range performance in a compact, quick-take-down platform.
The Nemesis Arms Valkyrie stands out for its advanced modularity, ambidextrous design and emphasis on consistent, repeatable accuracy, making it equally compelling for precision shooters and collectors of innovative modern rifle systems.
The February Collector's Elite Auctions event will close Sunday evening, February 15th, and once these lots end, opportunities to acquire examples of this caliber, rarity and condition may not return for years.
