As the old saying goes, Don't let my wife doesn't sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them when I pass on.
I'm not going anywhere anytime soon (I hope) but I do have a surgery coming up soon to remove a kidney stone and while it's a routine operation, there's always a chance that something goes awry.
So, the only thing she really doesn't know about in terms of value is the collection. Given that I haven't checked certain markets recently either, I'm asking for ballpark figures to leave her a list as a "just in case" document.
Here's what I've got that I need a price check on and general condition:
- Austrian Steyr M95/34: Very good condition. No rust, smooth action, very good rifling, no issues with furniture
- Savage 1907 .32ACP: Standard type, VG-EX condition. Complete original grips, original mag
- Savage 720 (A5 Variant) 85% finish on receiver with honest wear at edges. No rust. Excellent patina at wear points, wood in very good condition, bore is mirror finish, crappy recoil pad is only drawback.
Argentine Rosario MkIV FAL (built with FN tooling): Century receiver. No issues with feeding or running. Excellent condition
FEG PA-63: Excellent condition. No exterior wear, 2 mags
Everything else in the collection I know, but all of these have had such wide swings in pricing from what I've seen online, so I just need an honest ballpark to write down for the wife just in case. Thanks in advance gentlemen.
