I need HELP!!!

[skeller001]

A very good friend of mine who recently passed away was a member of the Remington Society. He was an avid collector of old Remington firearms, mostly pre 1900 doubles. His widow has asked me what to do with his collection. I believe selling it to a local gun shop would prove to be a huge loss. Many of these firearms are fairly rare and belong in a collection, not sitting in a gun shop rack for $300. I know my friend has information tags on almost every firearm. I can not remember if that includes value or purchase price. I just don't want her to get taken. I am not sure on the exact number of Remington firearms or parts but I would guess there are over 50 pre 1900 doubles. Then there are many other doubles and firearms. Does anyone have a suggestion for me on how to handle this? I have thought about contacting Devine to get their opinion. Last night I remembered my friend talking about this society and thought I would see what you have to say. Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide.

There are different ways you can sell, the main thing is you get a fair price for the guns.You won't get it at gun shop.I belong to the R.S.A. and collect all Models of Remington Doubles if I can help in any way. Also I would be interested in buying any Grades I don't have.

2shooter, thanks for the reply! I may be asking a fair amount of questions. If my memory serves me correctly he had pretty much 1 of everything. I think there was 1 he was still searching for.

I am looking for a good quality Model 89 SxS and would be willing to pay a fair price, certainly more than a gun shop that would want to make 100% or better profit. Not sure how you want to go with this collection, but just thought I would throw that out.
