Estate Appraisal and Interstate Heirloom Transfer for a Browning Citori 525
An estate executor in Clayton, Missouri, recently engaged MDRF Enterprises to assist with a high-value family heirloom: a Browning Citori 525 20-gauge over-under shotgun. The firearm arrived in a premium hard-sided, leather-wrapped case and required specialized handling.
The Executor's Challenge
The estate required a formal, certified appraisal for inventory and insurance purposes. Furthermore, the executor needed a legal solution to ship the firearm to an heir residing in North Dakota.
The MDRF Solution
We provided a USPAP-compliant appraisal to establish a defensible baseline for the estate records. Following the valuation, we managed the entire interstate transfer process:
Secure Packaging: Specialized boxing to protect the shotgun and its leather case.
Licensed Shipping: Coordinating with a recipient FFL in North Dakota to satisfy federal requirements.
Documentation: Ensuring the executor received a full paper trail for the estate’s final accounting.
Professional Peace of Mind
By choosing a licensed FFL in Clayton, the executor avoided the legal risks of private shipping. We ensured the heirloom was transferred discreetly, legally, and in perfect condition.
