Nice old gun. The auction route is definitely the simplest approach the only down side is you would pay a 15-20% sellers commission. The buyer also pays a 15% commission which may be reflected in a lower hammer price. Another alternative is to join the PGCA and put the gun up for sale on the members forum. Your gun is classified as an antique so no FFL dealers need to be involved in the transaction so you can ship directly to the buyer. I am quit confident you would find a buyer on the PGCA forum and you would only need to invest in a membership thereby saving auction commissions.

I also agree with Craig. I would also consider bringing it to one of the Parker gatherings so people can actually see the gun and make an offer. We have two this fall and then the best off all next April. A good auction house can attract good money for the gun but 30% of it goes in their pocket, not yours.
