What is this firearm worth? Where do I start?
There are more guns than people in the United States. Since Americans tend to enjoy their 2nd amendment rights, there are numerous large and well established collections in existence within the United States.
Our expertise is derived from 35 years in the business of buying, selling, and collecting firearms. With so many makes, models and variations of guns, putting an exact value on a firearm or a firearms collection is a daunting task.
If you need an appraisal for the sake of either insurance or liquidation of an estate, we can help define the value. Why sell when you don’t know what it’s worth?
