Appraisal of Civil War musket, for insurance
A friend wants to obtain an appraisal of a Civil War musket left to him by his father. He says he needs an appraisal that would be accepted by his insurance (home) agent. I imagine there is some professional association out there that certifies appraisers of antiques?, maybe?
he needs an appraiser in the SW Ohio, Northern Kentucky, SE Indiana area.
He can send digital photos. I do not recall the musket name, model, or manufacturer.
Can anyone help?

I would start with digital photos and go from there. We can give you a pretty god idea what he has, but this is really a hands on thing that can involve a lot of variables! Also, look under "Cool Stuff" on GB's Banner page and you will see "get your item appraised". This service, for a fee, will help you locate someone in your area with the needed expertise to help you further!

Here is a link to a number of U.S. Arms Collectors Associations.
have your friend contact the closest to him. The would be happy to either refer him to a appraiser or a private collector, who could help him.

If there's a larger gun shop in your area,most have an appraiser in-house that will do it(in black and white) for insurance purposes but a small fee may apply.
