I have had a complete full spectrum of suggestions from Antique gun collectors and Internet Collector sites. Some have told me to send them the guns and they would offer up to 80% of what "they considered retail value".
Others have told me to consign the guns on their site. Others have suggested to take them to Civil War shows to sell. I'm confused. Not only by the range of methods they have suggested for sale but also by the range of value they have assigned to the 2 Colts I have. I have purchased the "Flayderman's Guide to Antique American Firearms and their values", from that source and research from similar pieces available on the internet; I have a pretty good idea of a conservative price I would expect to get for them.
Anyone have any words of guidence. Thanks
