Gun Appraisal

We appraise a wide range of firearms, including handguns, rifles, shotguns, vintage and antique firearms, collectible pieces, and specialty weapons. Whether your firearm is a common production model or a rare collector's item, our appraisers have the expertise to provide an accurate valuation in accordance with USPAP standards.

A professional appraisal establishes fair market value for estate tax filings, charitable donations, insurance coverage, divorce settlements, and probate proceedings. An independent, USPAP-compliant appraisal provides defensible documentation that satisfies IRS requirements, insurance carriers, and legal proceedings.

Single firearms and small lots are typically completed in 7 to 10 business days, and often within a week. Larger collections and estates generally take three to four weeks. Timing depends on the number of items, complexity, and whether additional research or historical documentation is required, and expedited service is available. Tell us your deadline, such as a court date or tax filing, and we will confirm up front whether we can meet it.

We offer online appraisals via high-quality photographs and detailed descriptions for most firearms. For rare, high-value, or complex collections, an in-person appraisal may be recommended to ensure complete accuracy. We'll advise on the best approach for your specific items.

Our appraisers hold credentials with leading organizations such as the ASA, ISA, AAA, and CAGA. Every report is prepared in accordance with USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice), the recognized standard for all professional appraisals.

Our reports are prepared to meet IRS requirements and insurance industry standards. The IRS, your carrier, or the court makes the final decision on acceptance, but our USPAP-compliant methodology and detailed documentation give your report the professional foundation needed for regulatory and claims purposes.
