Deerfield Public Library

Come to this in-person event to learn about the newest FairMaps initiative on Saturday, January 10, at 1:00 p.m. at the Deerfield Public Library, hosted by the League of Women Voters of Deerfield/Lincolnshire. &nbsp;LWV of Illinois has joined a bi-partisan group to promote a more fair method for the required ten-year redistricting that will occur after the 2030 Census results are available. &nbsp;It involves circulating petitions for an amendment to the Illinois Constitution and it will only affect Illinois General Assembly districts. (This is unrelated to the current Congressional redistricting efforts that have been in the news in other states.)Attendees will learn the reasons why an improved method is needed in Illinois and petitions will be available for signing and circulating. &nbsp;Free and open to the public.

Chasing History: The John Bannister Collection &amp; A Massive Militaria Event
We are Chasing History across every theater of World War II in a colossal auction event that merges top-secret strategy with frontline firepower. This catalog features the esteemed John Bannister Collection (1000 Series Lots) alongside a massive offering of General Militaria (2000 Series Lots), creating a seamless timeline of the war from the planning room to the battlefield.
The **John Bannister Collection** serves as the anchor of the auction, offering a rare glimpse into the "Intellectual Architecture" of the war. This includes the ultra-rare "BIGOT" classified documents&nbsp;regarding Operation Neptune and Utah Beach—papers that required a security clearance higher than Top Secret. But the Bannister lots are equally defined by their exceptional firearms. Highlights include the legendary **FP-45 "Liberator" Pistol**, the clandestine single-shot weapon dropped to resistance fighters behind enemy lines. Serious collectors will also find an **Inland M1A1 Paratrooper Carbine**, a **Super Rare Mauser G41(M)** early German semi-automatic, and a stunning **Johnson 1941 .30-06 Rifle**. We are also presenting an incredibly rare **Japanese Naval "Special" Type 99 Rifle**, distinct for its anchor stamp and unique 3-inch cleaning rod.
Complementing these masterpieces is a selection of militaria that captures the daily reality of the soldier. This section is rich with amazing trench art and more militaria items are still being added, so be sure to check back often!
From the spy-level secrecy of the "BIGOT" maps to the crude desperation of the "Liberator" pistol, this auction covers the full spectrum of conflict. As **Auctioneers of antiques, Collectors of cool, and Veterans of vintage**, we have assembled an event where the pen meets the sword, and history comes alive.
**We are always seeking consignments.**
If you have historical documents, firearms, or military collections you are looking to sell, please send us photos to **consign@donleyauctions.com**. We’ll make your collection ‘fit in your wallet.’
Preview is Friday before the auction - noon-7pm, and doors open at 8am the day of the auction.&nbsp;
