I am going to be selling a double rifle. The rifle was purchased from a large estate auction about 15yrs ago. I have researched a lot of the online sources, shops etc. over the past few years but have never found another one like it. I understand that features, caliber, maker and condition are huge factors. I just wondered how you all determine value on older rifles, do you use some type of appraiser, send photos to shops? Are there references like the blue book for older guns. I am not interested in grinding out the last dollar on my gun, just establishing a reasonable fair market price. Any references would be appreciated. P.S. If you have any thoughts off the top of your head, the rifle is a Thomas Bland 577 3" Nitro Proofed 90gr/650 bullet, Hammers, under lever. Locks up tight, bores excellent, wood is very good, no engraving, has been refinshed somewhere along the line. Also comes with 85 Kynoch fired cases,NEW RCBS die set, custom 650gr bullet mold from LBT. "The difference between adventure and disaster is preparation."

Just send it to Champlins, or someplace like it, on consignment. Georgie Boy will pretty much know what it will bring.  ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

This is just a guess and registar it as nothing more, but ~25-35k. What year? +2 to Champlin and +1 to Cal. Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

Thanks for the replies, I would like to do my own research if possible. I don't want to consign it before I try to sell it on my own, and I don't feel right getting info from a business and then not selling it through them. I'll just keep researching. P.S.
