Atlanta, GA – October 29, 2020 –  According to  GunBroker.com, vintage  guns are now more collectible than ever. Largely unnoticed by those outside of firearms circles, rarer examples can be worth a small fortune today, the online marketplace’s experts report.

“Truly rare guns, such as the Singer 1911A1, can be worth an absolute fortune if you’re lucky enough to stumble upon one,” reveals a GunBroker.com spokesperson, speaking from the online marketplace’s headquarters in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area.

Among the most collectible—and in at least one case, immensely valuable—guns on today’s vintage firearms market are the LeMat Revolver, Winchester 73, Singer 1911A1, Remington Rand 1911A1, and Rock-Ola M1 Carbine, says  GunBroker.com. The LeMat  Revolver, for example, is a rare 8 or 9 shot revolver, and clean models, GunBroker.com points out, are now changing hands for upwards of $20,000. “To a serious gun collector, a Winchester 73, meanwhile, can be worth up to $50,000 – and, perhaps, considerably more for a pristine specimen,” adds one of the marketplace’s team of experts. 

Among the very rarest and most collectible guns in the world, however, right now is the Singer 1911A1,  GunBroker.com reports. Singer—more widely famed for their sewing machines—only ever produced 500 pistols, figures show. Value today? “Easily $200,000 to $250,000, if you can find one,” reveals  GunBroker.com. And in ten  years? “Who knows,” says a GunBroker.com expert, “but it’s safe to assume that prices are only going in one direction – and that’s up.”

Aspiring gun collectors needn’t spend a quarter of a million dollars, though, to get their hands on something special. “The similar-looking Remington Rand 1911A1, while not particularly rare, is becoming increasingly collectible,” GunBroker.com reveals. The price? “Today, around $1,000, but values are rising more and more sharply every year, so now might be a good time to invest,” they add.

Slightly less affordable but still a fraction of the price of guns such as the Winchester 73 and wildly expensive Singer  1911A1 is GunBroker.com’s  fifth and final pick, the Rock-Ola M1 Carbine. “M1 .30 carbines are becoming more popular with collectors,” says a GunBroker.com expert. “Get your hands on a Rock-Ola, which is among the rarest, for around $3,500 and expect to see prices steadily rise in the next few years,” they add, concluding their roundup of among the most collectible guns in today’s market.

The world’s largest online marketplace of its kind, aside from merchandise bearing its logo,  GunBroker.com  sells none of the items listed on its website. Made available by third-party sellers, both federal and local laws subsequently govern the end purchase of firearms and other restricted items. Ownership policies and  regulations, GunBroker.com  states, are then followed to the letter by using licensed firearms dealers as transfer agents.
