Hello everyone, I am a retired FFL and now do appraisals for museums, individuals, auctions houses, etc.
One of my customers is sending me a John Derr percussion swivel rifle (possibly a swivel rifle/shotgun combination gun) for appraisal and I am finding very sparse information on him. I know he was in Berks County, PA. and he was a blacksmith, pewtersmith as well as a gunsmith but not much else to go on. I found a few rifles and handguns that sold a few years ago but not much recently and no swivel guns at all.
I'm trying to do a solid job for my clients and give them the appraisal and some history to go along with it.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
