Resolving a Nine-Handgun Estate Referral in South City

A trusted estate partner recently referred MDRF Enterprises to assist with a property in the Holly Hills neighborhood of Saint Louis. An estate liquidator had discovered nine handguns scattered throughout the residence and required a licensed FFL to manage the legal transfer and valuation.


The Collection Highlights

The inventory reflected decades of personal collecting, featuring both modern classics and unique vintage pieces:

  • Ruger Vaquero: Chambered in .45 LC and featuring custom antler grips.

  • Ortgies .32 Auto: A classic European semi-automatic.

  • Llama Especial: A stainless .32 caliber pistol.

  • Plinker: A reliable .22 LR for recreational use.


Professional Outcome

This first-time collaboration demonstrated how referral-based trust delivers results. We provided a certified appraisal and established a perfect legal chain of custody for every firearm. By choosing a licensed professional, the liquidator was able to focus on the broader estate sale while MDRF handled the federal compliance and background checks. This Holly Hills case study proves the value of having a specialized firearm partner within the Saint Louis estate community.
