Frequently Asked Questions

+How does Proofmark Valuation Company estimate firearm values?

The AI reviews your photos for visible rollmarks, finish wear and condition, grades the firearm against NRA condition standards, and returns three estimates: wholesale/quick-sale, private market, and retail replacement.

+Is an Proofmark Valuation Company report a certified or court-admissible appraisal?

No. Reports are AI-assisted estimates based on photos. They are a helpful starting point for insurance, sales and estate planning, but they are not a qualified appraisal, tax filing or legal document. For court or IRS purposes, use a qualified appraiser.

+Can I use it for an estate or inheritance?

Yes. The Estate page lets executors inventory firearms, assign heirs and download an organized estate report with quick-sale, fair market and replacement estimates to share with an attorney or appraiser.

+How do I find a licensed dealer to transfer a firearm?

The Dealers page lists federally licensed firearms dealers from the official ATF monthly list. Search by city, ZIP or shop name, then call the dealer to confirm fees and services.

+What photos give the best results?

Clear, well-lit photos of both sides, plus close-ups of proof marks, the serial number area, wear and any modifications. You can upload up to six photos.
