Hello all. My grandfather left his gun collection to me, my brother, and my cousin. There are about fifty in total including 19th and 20th century hand guns and rifles, as well as many much older flintlock pistols and rifles. I’ve attached a link to a spread sheet including the whole collection. Some of them we think we’ve identified, but others we are not sure about. We plan on keeping some and selling the rest. We’ve already divided up the guns each of us is keeping. Our eventual plan is to divide the money from the sales such that we each take home an equal portion of the value of the collection. For example, my cousin kept the most guns so he can expect to receive the least money, and my brother kept only one gun so he can expect the most money. But this plan only works if we can estimate the values of the guns we’re each keeping. Does anyone have experience with how best to proceed? I am in Orange County, if it matters. Gun Collection Spreadsheet, colored squares indicate guns we are keeping: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18BUlSn-JLEiBlJpOyxRrQFckNDWMmNKR/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=107834143091098261074&rtpof=true&sd=true |
