Valuing a Holland & Holland Royal Sidelock Ejector
Recently, MDRF Enterprises was engaged by an estate in Ladue, Missouri, to conduct a certified firearm appraisal. The centerpiece was a rare Holland & Holland Royal Sidelock Ejector. Serial records place this masterpiece between 1893 and 1896, marking it as a highly collectible shotgun from a premier London maker.
Challenge: The executor faced potential conflict among heirs regarding the true value of the asset.
The Solution: As CAGA and AGI Certified Appraisers, we performed an on-site evaluation using USPAP-compliant standards. By establishing a defensible Fair Market Value (FMV) based on documented grading, we provided the legal transparency needed for equitable asset distribution.
