A friend of mine has been asked if he can help a widow sell a number of firearms her husband had collected over the years. Does anyone know of a reputable dealer/buyer/collector in the Dallas area that might be interested in assessing the value of and perhaps buying this collection? I was shown a list of the guns, but no pictures or any information pertaining to condition of them. The things I remember from the list of around 25 guns includes the following:
US Springfield 1903
US 1917
US Krag-Jorgensen -- multiple
US Springfield models from the 1860s
US Springfield 1873
Harpers Ferry 1819
US M1 Garand - Springfield
US M1 Garand - Inland
US M1 Carbine - Inland
Winchester Model 12 16 ga.
Remington 550
Remington 740 - 30-06
H&R semi-auto pistol
Colt Navy Pistol
There were a few other guns as well that did not seem to stick in my mind.
If you know of a reputable person or business (particularly one that you have done business with), please forward particulars. Thanks in advance.

Jackson Armory in Snider plaza University Park for the military pieces, Roy's in Irving for the others.

I would let Roy look at all of it. You may get a better price.AndyC wrote: Thu Jan 31, 2019 10:30 ambulletslap wrote: Wed Jan 30, 2019 9:48 pm Jackson Armory in Snider plaza University Park for the military pieces, Roy's in Irving for the others.![]()
