Drove up to my folks house today to move some furniture around for them and finally got my father to let me help him look for his guns he didn't know were at. I wish I'd have taken more pictures but I will when I go back up next weekend to clean them all for him.
I learned some neat family history on most of them and he gave me SN's on the ones we thought might be of value so I could try some research.
The reason for the value interest is he has them under his homeowner's insurance and it was decades ago when he added them and I believe he should update the insurance company on what they might currently be worth. Most of these he has insured for between $2-300 or so.
Any help you guys could give me on value and a way to check exact dates by way of SN would be much appreciated.
The few I think are of some value are as follows...
Browning A5 Light 12- this gun he bought second hand between '66-67. It is in at least 90% condition. Not sure what year the gun is. It does have the Poly choke on it and it's a 26" barrel.
Browning Nomad- he has two identical guns with 6-7" barrels with adjustable sights and two mags for each gun. These appear near mint. These were also bought between '66-67 and were purchased new.
S&W K22- the gun has a 6-7" barrel and is in near mint condition except for the fact that it was stored loaded and the rounds dont seem to want to come out easily. I will further investigate when I go up next weekend but any advice on getting the rounds out is appreciated. This gun my pops remembers shooting as a kid and belonged to either his dad or uncle, so at least a '50s era gun, probably earlier than that.
S&W 27-3 - this gun my pops bought new but is not sure exactly when he bought it, we're thinking '80s to early '90s. It's a 6-7" barrel in near mint condition.
So any advice on value would be great. I'll resurrect this thread next weekend when I have more pics.
For now here's a couple shots of the A5 in the poor lit attic.
