I'm in need of somewhere I can go to get a rifle appraised for insurance reasons. Where's a good shop to go? Last night my dad inherited an old family heirloom from a 2nd cousin of his. He's downsized and in his 70's now so he asked my dad if he'd like it. It's a used civil war rifle made in 1857 which belonged to his dads grandfather or great grandfather, I'm not sure which one it was. They used to live in the states so there's a good chance it was used in service. He offered it to me last night but I told him to hold on to it for another 20 years. It's a beautiful rifle! He's currently looking for a custom glass case he can put it on the wall.
I'll post some pics of it later. For the time being he needs to find an appraiser for it to be insured properly. Any suggestions or know anyone to go to?
Thanks!
