Take the appraisal that Simpson's gives you, and if you are satisfied with the value, post the appraisal here and the gun for sale in our classifieds (no charge or fee for selling here) with the exact price you expect to sell it for. Read the selling rules in the classified forum... You can't ask for offers. Auctions are not allowed here. You must post the selling price.

Someone here will buy it, and then the mechanics of the sales process and necessary licenses and such can be discussed and you can do it all legally... right here. Most anywhere else you try to sell it, they will charge you a fee.

The finest example of a Model 1900 I have ever seen, even in photographs.... Congrats.

Let me add my $0.02 that this is a family heirloom, and once it is gone, it is gone forever. If it were mine, my great grand children would be admiring it in a family display case 50 years from now... I recommend that you don't sell it.
