Antique Guns
I know a good bit about guns but I purchased a few 1800/early 1900 guns today that I actually know little to nothing about. I know enough about guns to know I wasn't gettin robbed blind...but im still curious. Does anyone here have any knowledge in this area before I go through the trouble of posting what they are?
I am taking them to a gun store to have them cleaned up and apprasied ASAP but since I have a busy week I wanted to see if anyone here could help out...Im gonna try and search for them as well...but this was worth a shot. I wrapped them up in sheep skin and towels at my moms house on my way back here...so I will go unwrap them so I can get the info from them and post pictures if needed and ill check back here to see if I even need to list what they are. Thanks a ton to whoever knows more than me or can help!

Re: Antique Guns
French Double Barrel Percussion Shotgun 20 gauge
French Percussion Musket 70 Perc cal Victor .32 s&w ctge nickel revolver (H&R 1910) and a winchester model 55 single shot thats not that important b/c its a 1950ish i believe....but it came staight out of the winchester museum so even though its not as unique and costly as the others its in super excellent shape The 2 french ones have alot of elaborate etchings in the wood and metal and im pleased with the condition they are in...they both have the original loading sticks as well

[/ QUOTE ] hehehe but I still think the French are awesome at war. Until they can build a military vehicle fast enough to catch a Frenchman running from a cap-gun, and strong enough to pull a Frenchman off his sister, they remain formidable.

Re: Antique Guns
If the gun store doesn't deal with antiques on a regular basis or know you well, I wouldn't bother with it. They'll just try to look it up in the Blue Book of Gun Values & tell you what it says. You could do the same if your library has a copy.
See what this guy can tell you: http://www.armchairgunshow.com/index.htm I've never dealt with him but I do check the web site a couple times a year & there are always antiques listed for sale.
