Question I have a FIE Arminus revolver, model 3575G, 357 Mag caliber, 5 1/2 " barrel length and Gold finished.
I have had it now for 14 years and it is still in the box
(never fired). I would like to know the value of it and how to sell it
Answer As the link you clicked on said, I can't tell you the value of your guns.
Regarding how to sell it, depending on where you live there are several options.
Once you determine the value, you can post it for private sale a range near your home, although I doubt that there will be much of market for that gun on a local level.
You could also bring it to a gunshop. Since they have to make a profit on it, they will price it to sell quickly based on their clientele and give you about half of that value. The benefit is that you can sell it quickly if the shop is interested in it.
Your best bet, however, is probably to sell it through www.gunbroker.com. Like e-bay, this will reach a large buyership and is the most likely to enable you to find someone who is interested in this rather peculiar gun. On gunbroker, you can also check for other such guns for sale and see what they are going for. When the gun is sold, the buyer pays all transfer and shipping fees. You take it to an FFL holder (gunshop)and have them handle the transfer.
