Girly Gun Girl,
That's a fine collection you happened upon. Not that anybody on here is untrustworthy, but you really need to get those appraised by someone in person that can judge the condition of them. You can only get somewhere in the ballpark from photos.

If it were me, I would go into a well known gun shop and say that you need an "Estate Appraisal". Tell them that you are not looking to sell, just to get a value on the guns because they are part of an estate. I had to do this myself when my uncle passed away and the charge for the appraisals was very minimal. Some of those guns do hold a lot of value, so it's worth paying a little to get an accurate appraisal. Whatever you do, don't take them to a pawn shop. They are all about the profit. Try to sell them privately if possible. Might be worth it to set up a booth at the next gun show in your area as well.

Good luck!
