How do we price you your historical weapon? Several factors determine the value of a collectible gun. Two of the most prominent determinants are demand and its previous sales history. Demand in the gun collecting world is erratic and doesn’t always have a logical explanation. Exceptions of demand for brands such as Colt, Smith & Wesson, or Winchesters, which always have a higher demand. Lesser known brands take longer to sell. These guns create their own demand. We accept:
- Flintlock & Percussion Guns
- Cartridge Guns
- U.S Revolutionary & Civil War Guns
- 17th or 18th Century French Guns
- 17th or 18th Century British Guns

Please make sure that your item is in good condition. The better condition your gun is in, the more we can pay for it. If you have the original box, be sure to bring it as it can significantly increase the value! When it is rare, condition matters little. If you meet all our simple requirements, you will also enjoy dealing with us. If your gun is especially rare, we will accept it in any condition.
