Inherited Arsenal. Who in BR to take it to?

Who is the maker of that SxS?

I'd be keeping all of those

Straight up. You will get absolutely screwed if you take those to a gun store and ask for an appraisal with intent to sell. Gun stores are the ultimate bastion of "that's worth $3.50 and I will give you $3.00 when in fact the item is worth $3500."

This isn't thirty years ago. Get on the internet and do a little digging. Or get on a forum and ask around. The P-38 and 1911 look to be WWII vintage and may have some value. Or not. WWII firearms (and SxS shotguns for that matter) are very specialized areas of collecting. I have been into firearms for years but not in those areas and wouldn't even hazard a guess.

That being said, I wouldn't sell any of them but it is up to you if you want to keep them or not. But don't trust anyone at a gun store to shoot you straight.

I’ll give you $350

Your best bet is to sell on consignment if using a gun store.

More pics and details of the rifle please. Is that a Savage Model 99?

That 1911 is a 1945 production. Condition it’s in is probably worth $1300-1500. I would probably hold onto to that one. I would be interested in it if you wanted to part ways. Live in BR area. I know Henderson auctions does firearms. Not sure what their commission is but might want to call them.


The P38 is a WWII Walter production. You can tell by the “AC” stamp on the slide. Also manufacture is 1942.

Love those 99’s too.

I’d for sure at least keep that 1911

I personally would never part with the 1911.

I’d start with online sales and research just to get some reference points. The 1911 can be all over the place depending on the mfg. Lots of companies made them and values can depend greatly depending on who made it and the condition.
