Re: Antique Guns
[ QUOTE ]
I’m not real big on black powder but the shotgun looks like a common “no-name” field piece, and the musket looks like a “napoleon” but it’s hard to tell. The .32 is most likely a railroad or police issue service arm, this was a very common handgun - lots and lots of these were made. I used to buy them from estates for around $50. The Winchester model 55, is it a top loading single shot with bottom ejection, 22 inch round barrel? Is there a serial number? If it’s what I think it is there were around 45,000 were MFG between 1958-1961 according to my Winchester book. They go for around $175 [/ QUOTE ] hahah these were the two i knew the values of ball park...im more concerned with the older French ones but thx for trying!

Re: Antique Guns
I don't know he did live in Athens. He had a ton of this stuff before he died a couple years ago. History professors will do that I guess. I haven't been back to the house since, but a lot of his stuff got donated to the libraries at UNC and NC State, maybe some to UGA too. The guns are probably still on the wall where they used to be, but I was just wondering. It'd be cool if they did get sold to know where they ended up.

Also, resale isn't a verb.
