Im an electrician in the va/dc/md area. I do service work so i go to differnt people's houses allmost every day. One of my long time clients had me out today to begin a basement remodel. her husband passed away about a year ago. He was on a national rifle team though im not sure if it was military or what, she showed me a shelf of medals he had won. Anyways, he left behind a massive collection of air guns and powder burners. 17 hand guns, 4 rifles, and 14 pellet guns. When i told her how much i enjoy airguning, she was impressed. She has asked me to help her find out the values of the powder burners which is relatively easy online and im also going to accompany her to a big gun store we have here to consign/sell them.(i do have my eye on one or two of those though  )
So then it comes to the pellet guns. The way we started even talking about the guns was when i asked her that if she ever decided she wanted to sell any of them, please let me know first. She was exstatic that i just happened to be an airgunner since she DID want to sell them and figured they would be kind of niche items and hard to find buyers.
Ive been doing my research tonight trying to find the values of these guns so that i can present her with an offer on some/all of them. Some were easy to find with minimal searching. Some i cant find anywhere online.One of them just happens to be the campaseco model mentioned in the forum title "does anyone have this gun?"
ive located alot of the guns online but some are more obscure. ill be going back to the house in the next few days and will be taking pictures. Any input from you all would be greatly appreciated.
thanks_samiam |

what fritz said!! i can help!!
man, i'm a painting contractor to the well to do and
i got my now 80 year old winchester 94 .30-30 ranger the same way.
the old gent wanted to get rid of it so i researched the value and conveniently did work on his house of that value.  90% condition and dead on at 300 yards.
you're in a once in a lifetime scenario. 
a list. pics would help. i know a great deal about burners and airguns alike. |
