Need to help a friend with gun values.

I need some help getting some value on some firearms. I think they are black powder. Some were kits and I believe some may be very old originals. This past weekend a friend of mine passed away at the young age of 57. (RIP Merle).

His brother had no interest in keeping the guns and ask us to sell them.
Anyone know of a good repeatable gun shop around I can work with to get some prices and maybe even act as a broker?

If there are a lot of them, I wonder if some of our members might be aware of (again) reputable firearm appraisers.

BTW, 'sorry for your loss.

The name and age are to much to be coincidence so I am guessing that you will be at the funeral today? If you will be send me a PM and I can meet up with you there and direct you to some people and places that can help you price them fairly and sell them as well. Merle was a good friend to me and my children, he built my kids their first computer. I will miss him.
