Q: I have a number of guns that were gifted to me by my grandfather, and I was wondering if you could recommend someone who could appraise them. These range from pre-Civil War guns to WW1 guns, and I suspect that they have some historical value. I appreciate any insight that you can provide. — Aric Keck, email
