24 Firearms Handled with Care and Professional Partnership
When Mike from DejaVu Estate Sales reached out about a home in Valley Park, he knew the situation required sensitive handling. A father was moving to memory care due to ailing health, and his family needed a comprehensive solution to manage the entire estate. Mike and his team were brought in to oversee everything, and when they discovered a significant collection of 24 firearms, they immediately called us.
That partnership is invaluable. Mike brings professionalism, meticulous organization, and a genuine respect for the families he helps navigate with difficult transitions. Our role is to ensure the firearm side of things is handled with the same level of care, compliance, and expertise.
We met Mike and we carefully inventoried and assessed the collection. This wasn't just a handful of guns; it was a diverse array that included classic revolvers, collectible rifles, and historical pieces, such as:
Smith & Wesson: Models 61-2, 19-3, 60, Airweight 38, 36, 15
Ruger: Mark I, Mini 14 180 Series
Hi Standard: SK100
Colt: Models 1902, 1903
H & R: Model 929
Browning: 1910/55, Baby Browning (x2), A5 69G, BL-22 Grade I, Lightning Superposed, Model K73
Remington: Wood Master 742, Model 721
Marlin: 336, Model 39 Century Limited
Mauser: Modelo Argentino 1891
Golden State Arms (GSA): BLY1944
Our team provided both Fair Market Value (FMV) and Marketable Cash Value (MCV) offers based on current market comps for each firearm. The family, accepted our offer, appreciative of a streamlined and respectful process.
Every firearm transfer was conducted with full legal compliance and meticulous documentation through our FFL process, ensuring all ATF requirements were met. The family found peace of mind, Mike's estate team could continue their comprehensive work seamlessly, and another collaboration wrapped up exactly how it should: safely, compliantly, and with the utmost professionalism from start to finish.
Collaborative Estate Solutions
Our work with Mike and the team at DejaVu Estate Sales provides a turnkey experience for families and executors. While Mike’s team expertly manages the heavy lifting of a total home liquidation, from the fine art and furniture down to the last collectible, MDRF steps in as the specialized arm for the firearms. We eliminate the liability and guesswork by providing expert appraisals and ensuring every firearm is documented and transferred with absolute legal precision.
This collaboration is founded on a simple principle: providing families with a single, unified path through a complex process. DejaVu brings the mastery of full-service estate management, and we provide the technical FFL expertise. By working in tandem, we ensure that while the house is being cleared, the legacy and the law are being respected.
