About Montrose Auction
Montrose Auction is a Georgia auction house founded in 1977 that specializes in firearms, edged weapons and sporting collectibles. Company president Trey Cottle has owned and operated the business since 1992. For roughly 40 years the company held its sales at its original home in Montrose, Georgia, building a following among collectors of sporting shotguns, classic American rifles and handguns, fine European guns and military arms, often offered from estate collections.
In December 2024 Montrose moved its salesroom to downtown Greensboro, Georgia, where it now holds auctions inside the Alligood’s firearms dealership at 203 North Main Street. Its first sale at the new venue took place December 13-14, 2024, and the company said it would conduct all future auctions there. Montrose runs up to 16 auctions a year and accepts bids in person, by phone, by absentee bid and online through its own Montrose Live platform as well as LiveAuctioneers and Proxibid. For gun owners in the Southeast, it is a long-established outlet for buying and consigning collectible firearms.
