Firearms we buy

Sell Antique Firearms to a Licensed Buyer

Antique firearms require careful handling and an understanding of period-correct parts, so we evaluate them individually rather than by a general condition scale. We buy black-powder era guns, early cartridge firearms, and other pieces that qualify as antique under federal definitions.

What we look at

Originality of parts, presence of matching serial numbers where applicable, and overall preservation of markings and finish are central to our review.

What to include

Photograph markings, proof marks, and serial numbers clearly, along with any case or accessories original to the firearm.

Condition and originality

Untouched patina and original finish are generally preferred over cleaning or refinishing on antique firearms.

Paperwork and accessories

Prior appraisals, provenance letters, or family history documentation can add useful context to our evaluation.
