Antique & Collectible Firearms at Auction
Austin Auction Gallery handles firearms across the full spectrum — from pre-Civil War percussion revolvers and 19th-century Winchester and Colt classics to modern sporting rifles, quality hunting guns, and collectible handguns from makers including Browning, Beretta, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, and Glock. The majority of our firearms come from Texas estates and private collections, which means buyers frequently find pieces with genuine history and provenance rather than commodity inventory.
Why Sell Your Firearms & Militaria With Us
Specialists who know firearms, antique to modern. Value in firearms turns on details a general appraiser misses — matching serial numbers, original finish and bore condition, factory configuration, martial markings, and provenance. Our specialists handle everything from pre-1899 antiques to modern sporting and collectible arms, plus militaria, and tell you what you actually have before a number is quoted. A few photos of the gun and its markings are enough to start a free appraisal.
Real results, not guesses. We price against actual hammer prices, not wishful thinking. Austin Auction Gallery has sold a scarce Colt 1911 Super .38 WWII pistol for $5,500, a Winchester 94 Texas Commemorative carbine at $4,250, a Beretta Gold Pigeon O/U shotgun for $4,000, an 1874 Colt Single Action Army revolver at $3,250, and fine WWII edged weapons and militaria in the thousands. When we tell you a piece has real value, it's backed by what similar arms have brought.
We handle the legal side, and reach buyers everywhere. Selling firearms means FFL transfers, background checks, and ATF rules — and we manage all of it, so you don't have to navigate the compliance or find a buyer yourself. Our auctions put your firearms in front of collectors and dealers across the country, with the paperwork and lawful transfer handled start to finish. (Antique arms made before 1899 are exempt and even simpler.)
The whole estate, handled. Firearms rarely come alone. As Central Texas's largest estate auction house since 1983, we handle the guns, militaria, and edged weapons alongside the furniture, art, and jewelry in the same estate — one appraisal, one consignment, one settlement. From a single inherited revolver to a lifetime collection, appraisals are free and without obligation.
