Our Origins

Services

We strive to meet all the needs of the collecting community including Authentication & Appraisals of Indian Artifacts, Pre-Columbian Artifacts, Old World Antiquities, Firearms, and Military Collectibles

Authentications:

For Indian Artifacts we specialize in material from the Western US. For other items we cover a wide spectrum of interests.

Appraisals:

We do a lot of appraising for insurance losses. From that experience we would highly recommend you have your collections appraised before you have a loss. We appraise both single items and entire collections.

We Buy Collections or Sell on Consignment.
