    Valuations please

    Hi folks, been left the remainder of my dads bits.
    Please can anyone give me a valuation of the pistols, swords and bayonets or give me an idea where to take them to value/sell.
    Many thanks.

    Pop your pictures on an image hosting website such as imgur.com, it's free. Then add a link to it here along with a description of the items.

    The air pistols will get valued here sharp enough.

    The others, Probably worth getting to Binners arms fair in July and letting some of the specialist dealers have a look.

    I do somewhere have the contact details for a blades dealer if you don't get anywhere.

    You need a specialist for the swords. The value can vary tremendously depending on condition, regimental markings, maker, etc. If the sword can be attributed to somebody then that pushes the value up also. You can get older blades that have been rehilted, this can push the value either way. It’s a minefield.

    Values of course depend on precise condition, which can be hard to judge from pics.

    Air pistol is a Gamo Center. £40-60.

    Air rifle is a later-production Webley MkIII. Around £150.

    Muzzle-loading pistols look like low quality stuff. £100 each?

    I claim no great expertise, but I’m not persuaded that the dagger is an early F-S. If it is, it’s worth some hundreds. If, as I think, it isn’t, maybe £60-80.
