Which way to proceed?

[CROWMAN]

I put a thread on some weeks back regarding a air rifle left to a friends widow.

I have been provided with a lot of info, members seem to believe that it is a 1907 BSA Lincoln Jeffries / Long Tom model, 0.177 under lever air rifle.

It has a straight stock with a 'duck bill' cocking lever, most probably a 'standard' model made between Feb to March 1907

I have had opinions ranging from £100- to £250-00 and have seen a similar model on a auction site at about £1K

I'm at a bit of a quandary as to how to proceed with disposing of the rifle for the widow for the best price?

Can any member recommend the best way to proceed?

Thanks

Which auction site sold it for £1K?

Auction it. It will find its current price. Just make sure the auction house use the sale room or easy live auction platforms.

Take some decent photos - outside with good light and post them on here, asking for a valuation.
Once you have a figure (you will get some idea from the figures posted) then you can do a 'sales' thread with price required.

An Auction might be a good idea, if it was a rare or highly desirable item, but I suspect a 1907 BSA Long Tom wouldn't fit that description.

If you commit it to auction make sure you check what the fees/costs are first.
