Experts:

The responsibility of each expert is limited to the lots he has described:


Sales conditions

Purchasers will pay in addition to the hammer price, a buyer’s premium of:

  1. 23,21% VAT inc. (for the books).
  2. 26,40% VAT inc.
  3. 1,2 % (VAT inc.) DrouotLive.


In accordance with the law, DROUOT ESTIMATIONS is responsible for the contents stated in the catalogue, subject to amendments announced by the auctioneer during the sale when presenting the lot.

The dimensions are given on an indicative basis.

No complaint related to restorations, small accidents, and condition will be accepted as the public exhibition allows a proper examination by the buyer.

Indications about the condition are available upon request to the auctioneer in charge of the sale.


• Pre-Convention Chelonioidea spp (I/A) sea turtle shell specimen, prior to July 1, 1947 and therefore in accordance with EC Regulation 338/97 of 09/12/1996 art.2-Wmc.


* Objects presented containing less than 20% Elephantidae spp (I/A) ivory or rhinocerotidae spp (I/A) horn, (I/A) processed, pre-Convention, prior to 2 March 1947 and therefore in accordance with EC Rule 338/97 of 09/12/1996 art.2-Wmc, the French Orders of 16 August 2016 amended and 4 May 2017, are for sale freely.

For an exit from the European Union, a CITES re-export certificate will be required, which is the responsibility of the future buyer. The issuance of such a document is not automatic.

For a possible re-export, it will be up to the successful tenderer to obtain information - prior to any purchase - from the customs authorities of the country concerned, particularly in the case of the United States.


**The condition of the weapons is given for information purposes only, some of these weapons having undergone modifications, repairs, and restorations. We have noted the main ones. They are sold as is and without warranty. The mention "With...", present in some descriptive sheets of the weapons in this sale, indicates that the designated element (rod, sling, bayonet...) although it is of the regulatory model, was not originally part of the weapon, but was added later. No claims will be possible afterward, as prior exhibitions before the sale allowed for examination of the presented items. Weapons in Category C Category C1 weapons are subject to DECLARATION. Their issuance is subject to the MANDATORY presentation of an identity document and: either a gunsmith's approval (art. 91 et seq. above); or a hunting permit issued in France or abroad (or any other document serving as a foreign hunting permit) valid for the current or previous year; or a license, valid for the current or previous year, from a sports federation that has received, under article L. 131-14 of the Sports Code, delegation from the minister in charge of sports for shooting or skeet shooting.

Only holders of an active SIA account and REGISTERED IN ADVANCE with our auction house may bid.

The delivery of the classified weapon will only be made after verification with the FINIADA file and settlement of the invoice.



Absentee and phone bids

Auctioneers and experts execute, free of charge, absentee and phone bids, for those who cannot attend the sale.

Anyone wishing to set up a phone bid will need to send a request by email, attaching a copy of his ID and bank details, at the latest the day before the sale.

Experience reveals that communications are not always possible due to technical problem or lack of reception, therefore a phone bid request assumes that THE BUYER AGREES TO BID TO THE LOW ESTIMATE PLUS ONE MORE BID in case the connection is lost for any reason.

Drouot Estimations cannot be responsible for failing to execute a bid.
