I've got an old German drilling rifle that I'm trying to identify. The places that I've contacted online want me to ship it to them AND pay over $100.

Are there any reputable gun dealers in Atlanta that specialize in old world sporting guns?

Thanks

$100.00 seems pretty fair for a written evaluation/appraisal if that's what you will receive. I know from experience as a dealer you can have a lot of time tied up in the research alone on an oddball weapon. If you are looking to sale the drilling the added value you would realise from the "expert" evaluation/appraisal should easily exceeded $100.00+ fee.

I'm sure there must some local dealer that can give you a verbal appraisal. Just call around until you find one.

Try Sullivan's Classic Arms in Cumming.

+1 for sullivans, he will usually give you a verbal ID and appraisal for free and old obscure guns are his speciality. IM me for his store number if you want.

I'm in Newnan and rarely make it above the north side. I would like to find someplace closer to Atlanta.

Top Gun used to be in the Lilburn area but he's moved.  Tom, had all kinds of cool FUDD toys.
Just googled I found him here.
Again north of ATL but thats all I got.

I assume you probably already have but have you already posted detailed pix on here somewhere?  

With the wealth of knowledge on this board I would think someone might be able to identify it.

Another good resource (they have a QA section) might be on Doublegun.
