If you’re wondering what to do with your guns and shooting accessories when the time has come to retire from shooting, or you are just considering making a little more room in your gun cabinet, our continued partnership with HOLTS auctioneers can help you and raise funds for the GWCT.
HOLTS, the leading auctioneer of Fine Modern and Antique Guns and Accessories have launched The Holts Charitable & Legacy Lots Programme, and are running a free valuation day at our Burgate Manor headquarters on Thursday 25 August. You can find out more about this and other valuation days here.
It couldn’t be simpler. HOLTS will handle the entire transaction, from collection to sale, and the hammer price of your items will be donated on your behalf to GWCT. There are no fees for you as the vendor for this service and HOLTS will also help you navigate the licensing from the transfer and will make the entire process as easy as possible.
All valuation days are hosted by experienced members of Holts staff, who will be able to tell you something about the item you have brought along. One valuer notes “We are always keen to hear of family or related provenance; it is often of interest and can have a highly beneficial impact on the value. We will then suggest a realistic catalogue estimate and reserve (if you are minded to sell) together with a likely hammer price”.
James Swyer, interim head of membership and marketing at the GWCT is encouraging guns to come along. “It’s great to see these valuation days back after the pandemic made things difficult. We’re grateful to HOLTS for continuing this relationship and hope our members and supporters take this opportunity to get a free valuation.”
