Mr. Stephenson,
Please do take my comments about your web site as a most sincere compliment, your guns and site are first tier.
VA Collector,
Perhaps you should contact Roscoe Stephenson and discuss the many options that have been presented on this forum. One look at
http://www.RoscoeStephenson.com should tell you he knows a thing or two about quality, and since he's an attorney located in Covington, VA there's a possibility he's close enough to provide "hands-on" advice. Just a thought since I don't know neither of you, but what have you got to lose?
One thing is certain. We're all impressed with the high quality of the arms your uncle bequeathed to you. Any collector would think they'd died and gone to heaven to have such arms given to them. I suspect that the appraisal you received 2+ years ago is a bit on the low end. If most of the collection is of the quality you've posted here, I think you can multiple it by 3 or 4 to get a more realistic figure. Consequently, seeking the very best professional advice is a necessity. Unless you're knowledgeable yourself, sell only through a dealer/broker with a track record for selling high end guns to an established client list with DEEP pockets!
