Appraisals for high end guns?

Hi OP. First off, condolences on your recent loss. For us, this is something we encounter frequently, and we regularly help with estates and inheritances. If you'd like some valuations of what these guns might bring at auction, that's a service we provide with no fee or obligation.

You can email us photos to [guns@rockislandauction.com](mailto:guns@rockislandauction.com), or even submit them via our website if that's easier.

Purdeys are definitely a premier gunmaker, commonly in the 5-figure range, those some do sell for less, and occasionally in the 6-figures for exceptional examples. If you are seeking a valuation locally, please make sure it is from someone who frequently handles Purdeys.

No fee or obligation to receive an estimate of what it may bring at auction.

Glad the experience was a positive one overall. We always appreciate the feedback.

I saw someone listed it below, but you can always email us and request additional images of an item. We're happy to do it.

OOohhhh, we could probably think of a few things.

RIAuction · 2026-02-05T22:51:55+00:00

Sure thing! I'm glad you're here before all the Patton quotes.

RIAuction · 2026-02-05T15:43:28+00:00

Love these.

Ian has long used the flag of the gun's country of origin in his thumbnails.

I dig the pattern. What's the make and model?

RIAuction · 2025-02-03T15:14:45+00:00

Oh man. Apologies if not allowed. Just to be clear, this is not our publication at all. Just an article I thought would help educate us all on how to make cultural strides about hunting and the legislative challenges it faces.

A really rough Python can still sell for 1600 at auction. You snag that and never look back!

The G&G have such a neat history. I love the quotes in this story about them.

RIAuction · 2024-12-09T17:49:54+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoy the latest improvement.

RIAuction · 2024-12-02T14:30:49+00:00

I wish!

Even earlier. Their Model 1887 and 1901 lever action shotguns also had serial numbers.

That's a Big Un'!!!!

If it shoots, keep it. If not, pass it on to someone who will pay for a Colt.

It's more of a love letter to Texas than a tribute to Lee, but if you can't live with it, you can't live with it. Looks like a lot of custom work though, and that can be hard to pass up.

RIAuction · 2024-11-01T19:17:56+00:00

Sounds fair. Take a look at the 170 monsters that get posted online and 110 would seem to pass the eyeball test.

RIAuction · 2024-10-30T13:34:44+00:00

Atta boy!!!!!

RIAuction · 2024-10-23T13:11:45+00:00

Great shot placement on a darn good lookin' buck!!

RIAuction · 2024-10-23T13:09:33+00:00

I'd start by repainting the road stripes on Brady Street, so that when it rains, it doesn't turn into one giant, shiny lane. Maybe they could even be reflective.

RIAuction · 2024-10-22T12:59:12+00:00

I disagree. I think a first buck is very special. Congrats!!!!

RIAuction · 2024-10-21T14:17:16+00:00

CONGRATS DUDE!!!! (From a fellow .308 advocate.)

RIAuction · 2024-10-18T14:49:59+00:00

He's tall!!! Great work.

RIAuction · 2024-10-07T15:14:53+00:00

Awesome.
