Reader Reviews
I use Peterson's Modern Gun Values in conjunction with Fjestad's Blue Book of Gun Values and Peterson's Standard Catalog of Military Firearms. A comparison of the values found in the three books gives me confidence when determining the value of a firearm. The Blue Book is really the standard for pricing but the Blue Book understandably lacks the photographs of the firearms listed. Modern Gun Values and the Standard Catalog, while listing a much smaller number of guns,provides photos and descriptive text describing about half of the guns found in the book.
