Seattle Gun Appraiser

Seattle Gun Appraiser brings deep expertise to firearm valuation. Owner John Sutton has spent over three decades buying, selling, and consigning firearms across every category—from standard AK variants to rare relics and competition pieces. His law enforcement background and accomplished trap shooting credentials inform every appraisal.

Professional Appraisals

Accurate firearm valuation requires more than a price guide. Market trends, collectibility, condition, originality, previous ownership, production location, and even seasonality all factor in. Two identical-looking guns can appraise at $500 or $5,000 depending on original boxing, restoration work, and modifications.

They handle: - Individual firearm appraisals - Large estate collections - Rare and antique pieces - Curios and relics - All firearm types (shotguns, rifles, pistols, black powder, military weapons)

Common reasons for appraisals include curiosity, estate planning, divorce settlements, and insurance coverage requirements. You receive a formal inspection, detailed analysis, and comprehensive professional report.

Consignment & Sales

Once appraised, they manage the entire consignment process—legal paperwork, secure storage, marketing, buyer negotiations, and shipping. Their 35+ year network of buyers and sellers means competitive pricing for individual pieces or entire collections.

Gunsmith Services

Beyond appraisals, John is an experienced gunsmith handling custom projects.

Contact them with details about your firearms. For common items, immediate estimates are possible. Larger collections and rare pieces typically require in-person inspection for accurate valuation.
