Big help in determining gun values

I recently hired a gun "expert" to come out and appraise some guns that were in my late brother's gun collection, and which his widow asked me to sell. I noticed the book he was using was titled .... "Blue Book"....; so in order to save $ I decided I could look in a book as well as he. This book has been a big help & $ values are very similar to his. The only negative is his book had pictures that made guns easier to identify, and this book doesn't; however, with model nos. it is no big deal. This book is pretty thorough, but there are a few rare guns where the book value can be thrown out the window, because you can get much more. But overall, I would recommend this book.

blue book of gun values 26th edition

One of the best edition yet! Color photes wre added to help grade the value of your firearms. I have 5 older editiond but this one is best. The omly thing they could improve one is an index by make and model as finding your make and model is a little difficult but this is still a good book to add to your library

Overcome by technology

This book is useful in tracing an unusual firearm and linking to quantity manufactured. It also provides some generally accepted guidelines, a common taxonomy, for the condition of used firearms. This is something many less than scrupulous gun sellers seem to lack.

Unfortunately, the pricing information is seriously out of wack for the majority of the firearms listed. Prices listed/realized on the many popular gun auction sites are almost higher than those listed in this book. The pricing information contained in this book is only of use to a less than honest buyer working with a naive seller.
