I was thinking about doing some Fall gun shows until I heard mixed reviews from sellers not covering table costs or fuel bills. Then I looked into the auction houses and was amazed at the high buyer AND seller premiums (what a racket!)
Not comfortable with dealers that fly in and appraise ("wholesale" offers(?) for a NIB 2nd gen Colt SA, pre '70 S&W and Colt revolvers, all matching Lugers, Nazi Hi-Powers, P38's, Radom Vis 35, PPK. PP, HSC, etc., to NFA: NIB M16A2, Walther MPK, MINI UZI, M60E3 and G1).
Part 2 is the Militaria, Civil War Officer Cavalry presentation swords (engraved, all Union) from a museum, Issued cavalry swords, Post war cavalry swords, Japanese Katana (blade dated pre 15th century) to war time made swords. Nazi flags, swords, daggers, metals, tokens, awards, patches and insignia from pre WWII to post WWII, WWII nazi officers visors and U.S Officer Visors.
Wouldn't that be a concept if Sturmgeweher offered a "collections" section where all guns and militaria from a given estate could be listed. Flat fee based on collection size or total value? I would even buy a special rank to list all in one spot.
Just a thought!
