Trade-Up Program
Trade your Ed Brown. Move into the one you want next.
Tell us about your current Ed Brown 1911 and whether you want a custom build or a completed pistol from live inventory. We will give you an estimated trade value before you decide whether to send it in.
For Ed Brown Owners
Submit an Ed Brown 1911 you currently own.
Estimate First
Review an estimated trade value before shipping the pistol.
Factory Evaluation
The final value is confirmed after physical inspection.
How It Works
Three steps. No need to ship first.
- 01Describe your trade. Complete the form with the serial number, condition, history, and what you want next.
- 02Receive an estimate. We review the information and email an estimated trade-up price.
- 03Decide and send. If you proceed, we email a FedEx label. The estimate is confirmed or revised after factory inspection.
Before You Begin
A better description makes for a better estimate.
- Have the Ed Brown serial number ready.
- Note approximate age, round count, and any work performed.
- Describe finish wear, damage, function, and overall condition plainly.
- List included items such as the gun rug, magazines, tools, or test target.
- Be ready to reply to the confirmation email with clear photos of both sides.
Request an Estimate
Tell us about your 1911.
Describe the pistol as accurately as you can. The estimate is based on the information you provide and may change after physical inspection if the firearm’s condition differs from the description.
Photos come next: after submitting, reply to the confirmation email with clear cell-phone photos of both sides of the firearm. Do not ship the pistol until we provide instructions and a FedEx label.
