23 Most Expensive Guns Sold on GunBroker | April 2025
The April 2025 GunBroker Report: 23 Most Expensive Guns Sold by Total Dollars | Auction or Fixed-Price
If you thought March brought the heat, the most expensive guns sold on GunBroker in April 2025 took things to the next level with a jaw-dropping lineup of high-ticket firearms. From iconic Tommy Guns to Hollywood legends, this month’s top sellers had collectors battling it out in the bids — and we’re here for it.
Whether you’re a military history buff, a fan of precision craftsmanship, or just love drooling over rare and high-end hardware, this roundup is for you.
Machine Guns Rule the April 2025 Most Expensive Guns Report
Let’s not beat around the bush — machine guns stole the show in the 2025 most expensive guns report. More than half of this month’s top sellers were fully automatic, and the competition for them was fierce.
One of the crown jewels? #11: A pristine 1928 Navy Overstamp Auto Ordnance Colt Thompson Submachine Gun — aka the legendary Tommy Gun. This one’s a museum-worthy piece with minimal wear and all the charm of a Prohibition-era gangster flick. Final bid? $34,000.00. Not bad for a piece of American firepower history.
Movie Guns & Battlefield Legends
This month didn’t just showcase guns — it told stories. At #18, we saw a 1943 CG Haenel MP43 Sturmgewehr, chambered in 7.92x33mm, storm onto the list. This early assault rifle from WWII Germany racked up 52 bids across 14 states before closing at $24,528.50. That’s not just a sale — that’s a bidding war.
Movie fans weren’t left out either. Spots #7 and #12 featured screen-used guns, letting collectors grab a piece of Hollywood action.
Limited Editions That Dazzle: Smith & Wesson Collector’s Set
Then there’s #15, which deserves its own spotlight in the April 2025 most expensive guns report. Donated by Smith & Wesson, this Engraved Limited Edition Collector’s Set is pure eye candy for firearms aficionados. It includes:
- The newly released Model 1854 Lever-Action Rifle, a bold callback to S&W’s Volcanic origins.
- The legendary Model 29 Revolver — yes, the same .44 Magnum made famous by Dirty Harry.
Both pieces are engraved by Baron’s Engraving, finished with 22-karat gold inlay, and housed in a rich display case. With serial number 032 of 100, this set is as rare as it is beautiful — and every dollar raised supports The NRA Foundation’s firearm education and safety programs. Legacy, craftsmanship, and philanthropy all in one set? That’s a win.
Thinking of selling? Now might be the time
— collectors are hungry, and the market is hot.
