Presentation-Grade Italian Engraving and Modern Icons Lead February Collector’s Elite Auctions
For immediate release
Collector’s Elite Auctions enters its final weekend of bidding with a curated selection of high-grade firearms that highlight Italian engraving artistry, limited-production modern pistols, iconic German designs and advanced modular precision rifles. Bidding concludes Sunday evening, Feb. 15, and collectors are encouraged to review remaining opportunities ahead of final hammer.
The current auction brings together firearms chosen for their craftsmanship, historical relevance and long-term collectability, offering a cross-section of presentation-grade sporting arms and modern collector icons rarely assembled in a single event.
Renato Gamba Concorde “The Naked Lady” Over-Under Shotgun
Among the most visually striking offerings is the Renato Gamba Concorde “The Naked Lady,” a presentation-grade Italian over-under shotgun distinguished by extensive hand engraving attributed to Pasotti.
The Pasotti name is associated with the traditional Italian engraving community centered in Gardone Val Trompia near Brescia, a region internationally recognized for producing fine sporting arms and master engravers. The engraving on this Concorde reflects the classic Italian bulino and hand-cut scroll tradition, characterized by crisp linework, deep shading and deliberate artistic composition. Rather than simple decorative scroll, the receiver features a fully executed figural scene known as “The Naked Lady,” framed by flowing ornamental scroll and carefully relieved backgrounds that provide depth and contrast.
From a collector standpoint, engraver-attributed work elevates this shotgun well beyond standard production. The Pasotti signature gives the piece a clear artistic identity and ties it directly to the Brescia-region engraving tradition. Built in the heart of Italy’s gunmaking valley, the Gamba name is respected for refined craftsmanship and hand-finished character, making this Concorde a centerpiece example of functional firearm art intended to be appreciated as much as displayed.
Staccato / Taran Tactical Innovations 2011 JW3 Combat Master
The auction also features the Staccato, formerly STI International, and Taran Tactical Innovations 2011 JW3 Combat Master, one of the most recognizable and collectible modern pistols of the 21st century.
Closely associated with John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the JW3 Combat Master occupies a unique position where elite competition engineering, limited availability and cultural significance intersect. More than a cinematic prop, the pistol represents a specific era of collaboration between STI and Taran Tactical Innovations, blending race-proven internals, signature slide work and aggressive ergonomics into a platform that is both mechanically significant and culturally influential.
As interest in historically relevant modern firearms continues to grow, the JW3 Combat Master has become a cornerstone piece for serious collectors, valued not only for performance pedigree but also for its lasting impact on contemporary firearms design and popular culture.
Heckler & Koch SP5K-PDW
Collectors seeking German-made classics will find the Heckler & Koch SP5K-PDW, the civilian semi-automatic sporting counterpart to the legendary MP5K.
Manufactured at Heckler & Koch’s Oberndorf, Germany facility, the SP5K-PDW retains many of the critical elements that made the MP5 and MP5K iconic, including precision-machined components, exceptional fit and finish and strict quality control. The “K” designation derives from the German word kurz, meaning short, referencing the compact barrel and receiver configuration that defined the MP5K as a close-quarters icon.
For collectors, the SP5K-PDW represents one of the closest civilian connections to a globally recognized military and law enforcement platform, with demand driven by German manufacture, authenticity and enduring design lineage.
Nemesis Arms Valkyrie Bolt-Action Rifle
Rounding out the highlighted offerings is the Nemesis Arms Valkyrie, an advanced modular precision bolt-action rifle that emphasizes ambidextrous operation, rapid caliber change capability and repeatable accuracy.
Built around a PVD-treated 8620 steel upper receiver, the Valkyrie accepts both right- and left-hand bolts and features a tool-free, indexing barrel system that allows caliber changes in under a minute without sacrificing headspace or return-to-zero performance. Supported calibers include .243 Winchester, 6.5 mm Creedmoor, .260 Remington and .308 Winchester, with additional options available through dedicated components.
Precision machining, tight tolerances and a match-grade trigger contribute to the Valkyrie’s reputation for consistent accuracy, while its collapsible stock and modular design make it equally appealing to precision shooters and collectors drawn to innovative modern rifle systems.
