Gun control laws vary widely from country to country. The three main criteria for value are: rarity, condition, and provenance. Having provenance can greatly improve prices. Some auction houses, such as James D.Julia, publish photos, descriptions, and realized prices on their websites. Current prices are best monitored by comparing prices at gun shows, auctions, websites, and by checking references such as "The Blue Book of Used Gun Values." Collectors also find gun auction catalogs, along with their accompanying "prices realized" sheets, particularly useful. Some highly desired brands such as Colt and Winchester Repeating Arms Company have tripled or quadrupled in value in recent years. Given their scarcity, the prices of antique firearms have steadily risen. For example, a modern firearm retaining 90% of its finish may be considered "Very Good" condition, yet an antique firearm can be classed the same as having 80% of its finish. Ĭollecting grades differ between modern firearms and antiques due to their age. This trend began in the 1950s as before World War 2, antique firearm collecting was not very popular. Collectibility Īntique cartridge firearms are highly sought by collectors and shooters.
British shotguns made between 18 represent some of the finest examples of custom gunmaking from Europe. Many antique smokeless powder cartridge firearms from the 1890s can still compete satisfactorily in target shooting events alongside their modern counterparts. 303 British, and 7.62×54mmR made many smokeless powder rifles manufactured in the 1890s quite capable of accurate shooting at long distances. These advances, typified by cartridges such as 8mm Lebel ( 1886 ), 7×57mm Mauser. However, advances in steel metallurgy and the advent of mass-produced smokeless powder in the early 1890s gave cartridge rifles of this new era much higher velocities and much flatter trajectories than their predecessors. They were limited to low bullet velocities and had heavily arcing "rainbow" bullet trajectories. Muzzleloading antique firearms are not generally owned with the intent of firing them (although original muzzleloaders can be safely fired, after having them thoroughly inspected), but instead are usually owned as display pieces or for their historic value.Ĭartridge-firing antique firearms are more commonly encountered as shooting pieces, but most antiques made from the 1860s through the 1880s were made with relatively mild steel and were designed to use black powder. 17-20 5-40 all others are 8-32.Check price and Read more Detail At Western Powders, Inc.Antique firearms can be divided into two basic types: muzzle-loading and cartridge firing.
