Don’t see it here? We’d still like to hear about it — call (870) 665-1915 or email photos to collectableweapons@gmail.com.
1. Tell us what you have
Email a description and, if you can, a few photos to collectableweapons@gmail.com, or call us directly at (870) 665-1915. The more detail the better — maker, age, condition, any history or provenance you know, and any damage or wear.
2. We take a look
We review every piece personally. Sometimes we can give you a good idea of value from photos and description alone; other times we’ll ask a few follow-up questions, or ask to see the piece in person or via additional photos.
3. We make an offer
If it’s a fit for the collection, we’ll make an offer — either an outright purchase or a trade toward something in our shop, whichever works better for you. No obligation, and no pressure either way.
Modern firearms (1899 or later) can’t simply be mailed to us — like a purchase, a sale has to go through proper FFL-to-FFL channels. If we agree on a deal, we’ll walk you through that process; nothing ships until it’s arranged correctly. Antiques (pre-1899), edged weapons, and non-firearm collectibles don’t have this restriction.
Questions first?
Most sellers just call and talk it through before sending anything. Reach us at (870) 665-1915
