Not ready to say goodbye? If your antique firearm holds sentimental value, we can keep it for you give you a loan. That way you can pay it back when you are ready.

Selling or pawning your vintage gun with us is very easy. There’s no registration required, nor are there any papers to fill out. All that is required is a valid form of ID. We accept any firearm made on or before 1898; we also take replicas if they were made in the same period which makes them valuable.

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
  • 17th or 18th Century Dutch Guns
  • Remington
  • Colt
  • Smith & Wesson
  • Winchester

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.
