The right auction for antique firearms

[dean3690]

Any recommendations for an auction house for antique fire arms? I have a brass blunderbuss with bayonet, dragoons pistol and tinder pistol that need to go up for auction.

I'd consign them to Hessney's Auction om Geneva, NY...I'm a buyer, not a seller, and I haven't been able to buy much because items are going too high for me. (which is great for the seller)

Both of those sites have a for sale section. I believe you can set up an auction type sale or just sell for an asking price.
Genuine antiques or reproductions, there is a market on those sites for both.
Don't forget to check in with the state legal requirements, cuz FUNY!

Is it a Goff?

I saw one just like that 25 years ago at a gun shop in Spencerport. It was a Goff.

Looks like that nearly exactly.

Looks like that nearly exactly.

If it's a real nice piece, sending it to Amoskega or Rock Island is a viable consideration...to me, those places are premium auctions.
