The most important prerequisite to obtaining a current market value for any Civil War collectable is to first establish that the item you are attempting to value is authentic and not a reproduction or fake and then to date the item to verify the period from which it came or was used. This can be very difficult because of the many higher quality reproduction and fake Civil War items in the marketplace. Only those dealers who have handled many authentic items have the experience and knowledge to authenticate many of the items found today. Below is a list of Civil War Dealers, experts in their field who have many years of experience buying and selling both common and rare Civil War Collectibles. We have provided contact information so that you can email them direct. When you submit your requests, please provide as detailed a description as possible along with digital or scanned photos when available. The more information you can provide them, the more accurate their information will be. Please be patient for their response. Civil War Dealers are extremely busy and researching your item can be very time consuming. If you are interested in selling once your item has been identified and authenticated, show your appreciation by offering it first to the expert who has provided you with this information. Dealer listings on this page are by invitation only.
Once the dealers we have selected accept our invitation and agree to provide their expertise, we will list their individual store names and contact information immediately.
