I already have a Good master gunsmith and next I will be looking for an auction service.
And I'm not telling anybody where I live because Obama's minions will come track me down and take my prize. |

Nice gun Bruce! I'd recommend a few more coats of Behr Liquid Rawhide log house finish for that beauty.

Dean makes excellent points. Rarity certainly plays a role in desirability as does some provenance. Weird rarity (4"drop, 12"LOP etc) kills value even if condition is high. Just one friendly piece of investing advice-----large bore large frame waterfowl guns with damascus barrels are a very poor investment stay away from them at all costs.

Much as I like my Parkers can't say any are investments. About the only way I can see to make money on guns is buy low and sell high. Might have done that twice after 50 years enjoying fine vintage firearms. Enjoyment they have given me is priceless.

While most of us could probably sell our guns for more than we paid, I wouldn't call it a good investment. Compare the annual increase in value to a passbook savings account, and you might not be very far ahead. Advantage of selling guns is that if it is done privately, your rich uncle in Washington need not know. The problem is the awkward problem of dying with a safe full of guns. Unless she is a very involved wifey, she will have to wholesale out the guns, and there goes your appreciation.
From a non-financial standpoint, our guns are more fun that stock certificates, and have led many of us to meet a great new group of friends

If you are looking for an investment, look to real estate, the stock market or something more traditional.
