Default Model No 1 1/2 SA Rev

I have recently found a bunch of antique guns in my uncles basement. I have a S&W Model No. 1 1/2 SA Rev with the maroon box in good condition. Does the box make it anymore valuable?

Along with 3 other guns have their bullet molds; does that make it anymore valuable?

Or if a gun has it certificate?

Thank you so much!

Welcome to the forum! In my opinion, any gun in its original box is worth more then one that is not in its original box. That is if there in the same condition. Can you post photos of your discovery? I would like to see photos of this S&W in the box. Do you plan to keep them or sell them. I recommend that you retain them, but if you wish to sell them let us know. Value will depend somewhat on where you live. Kyle

Well I found so many in my uncle's place that I cannot keep them all. I have never been interested in guns, so I have been trying to research alot but I feel like everything is so spread out I cant get a grasp on it! Is the antique gun market going up?
I have found about 12 really nice guns that still have the receipts, etc; however, they were all bout in the late 90s so I'm not sure how the value has changed. I want to put them up for sale but I just don't know how or a safe way so that I'm not just like giving them away.

Here is the S&W 1 1/2:

You can go to GunBroker.com and do a search on the "Completed Auctions". You will have to pay attention as many will be just re-listed from a no sale.
