FIREARMS APPRAISAL CONSIDERATIONS

Normally you should bring firearms, accessories, and documentation to your appointment.  Depending on the age,  vintage, providence of your firearm(s),  receipts, pictures, etc. are a definite plus.  Typically each appraisal requires a bit of research with costing data and manufacturer information.  We take photos and do visual and functional observations.

NOTE:  If you have more that 4 firearms, we may jointly decide to do the appraisal at your location.   If so, we will take photographs and record identifying information. 

The finished product is a database record of each firearm, condition ratings, and evaluated vale.  Also included are any manufacturer and market value market value information used in creating the appraisal.  We will supply information via a USB drive or DVD media.

We utilize the National Rifle Association (NRA) methodology to rate your firearm.  This method is considered the industry standard for determining firearm condition.   In addition to condition, providence, vintage, rarity, and current market value are all considerations.
