WE ARE PROUD TO OFFER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE FOR OUR NEW AUTHENTICATION SERVICE FOR ALL MILITARY COLT SINGLE ACTIONS. OUR MILITARY AUTHENTICATIONS WILL CUT TO THE CHASE AND DETIAL THE FEATURES THAT MAKE THE COLT AUTHENTIC. POSSIBILITIES OF WHERE IT SAW SERVICE ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE THROUGH MANY PUBLICATIONS, THEREFORE, WE WILL NOT ADD SERVICE COMMENTS, UNLESS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT PROOF REGARDING YOUR PARTICULAR FIREARM.
NOTE: DIGITAL XRAY SERVICE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONABLE AREAS THAT WERE SAID TO BE WELDED. MANY UNTOUCHED AND UNALTERED SA'S HAVE BEEN DEVALUED DUE TO CLAIMS OF WELDED PARTS. WE WILL USE SCIENCE TO MAKE THESE DETERMINATIONS, NOT JUST VISUAL ACCESSMENTS. CALL FOR DETAILS IF THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE PAST.
OUR FLAT FEE FOR AUTHENTICATION IS 250 DOLLARS PLUS RETURN SHIPPING OF YOUR CHOICE. YOUR FIREARM WILL BE RETURNED WITHIN 10 DAYS OF RECEIPT AND EXAMINATION. WE WILL ALSO OFFER DETAILED EVALUATIONS CURRENT WITH TODAY'S MARKETPLACE IF SO DESIRED FOR INSURANCE PURPOSESS. Click here for a sample letter endorsed and "graded" by John Kopec.
PLEASE NOTE THAT DURING OUR 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, WE HAVE SEEN MOST EVERY TYPE OF SPURIOUS LETTERING AND MARKING, RE-ENGRAVING AND FAKE STAMPINGS, WHICH CAN BE RECOGNIZED EASILY IN HOUSE. NIMSCHKE ENGRAVING ESPECIALLY.
We buy and trade fine antique Colt SAA's as well, especially black powder frame, early versions of U.S. military and civilian weapons. When you decide to part with one or the whole collection, we would love an opportunity do business with you.
