Honest & Accurate
Firearms, Weapons and Memorabilia Appraisals
Get an honest assessment of what you have, what it’s worth and your options for selling or protecting your item(s).


A Unique Combination for
a Gun Appraisal You Can Trust
We are not an FFL dealer. We only appraise guns, swords, knives and related memorabilia. We tell you what you have, what it’s worth and your options for marketing or protecting the items.
Integrity
We don’t buy or sell anything so there is no conflict of interest. We won’t give you a lowball appraisal to “take it off your hands.” We work for you to tell you what you have and what it’s worth.
Experience
We’ve been appraising firearms, edged weapons, and related accessories for over 30 years. We’ve seen a lot and have deep familiarity with different eras, makes and types of weapons.
Passion
We’re captivated by the rich history of antique guns, weapons and memorabilia. We love discovering nuances and stories that make each piece unique and sharing our findings with others.

Smith & Wesson Pistol
Gun appraisals were very accurate
Such a pleasure to work with Lock, Stock & Barrel. Helped me with evaluating several items of which I had limited knowledge. Pistol and rifle appraisals were very accurate, and they were a pleasure to work with.

Northern California and Beyond

We are located in Northern California near Sacramento and regularly travel to do firearm appraisals. Optionally, you can come to us. If you are outside of the area, let’s talk. We can likely still appraise your gun, edged weapon or accessory.
Some firearm appraisals can be done from a good set of photos which can save travel costs and expedite the process.
Why get an appraisal?
You might just want to know what you have and what it’s worth. If you are thinking about selling, be prepared with an trustworthy assessment in writing of what the item is worth.
