Auctioneers Note: Allen and Marshall Auctioneers is honored to help with the sale of the Estate of Marvin P. Schelhouse. Marvin honorably served our country as a Master Sergeant in the U. S. Marine Corps for 20 years from 1956-76. After retiring from the Marine Corps, he moved with his family to Milford, and began working for the State of Delaware, Dept. of Labor for over 20 years. Marvin was very active in the Milford School District serving on the Board of Education for over 30 years. While being a member of the Board, he served as President multiple times. He served and was President of the Milford Historical Society for many years, in the restoration of the Parson Thorne Mansion. He was the Milford Museum commissioner in charge of many exhibits, such as The Vietnam War, The Battle of Iwo Jima, and The Civil War. For over 50 years, Marvin studied and had a profound interest in the life and military career of General Alfred Thomas Archimedes Torbert (1833-1880) of the U.S. Army, one of Delaware’s most notable sons. Marvin edited the only book written about General Torbert titled, “A.T.A. Torbert, Southern Gentleman in Union Blue” by Nancy Slade. Marvin was one of the persons the book was dedicated to. Marvin founded and was the first Commander of the General Torbert Camp of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. In this capacity, he took the leadership role to restore the Milford Union Cemetery where 12 Civil War soldiers and one from the Spanish American War is buried. In 1969, Marvin was the only person to attempt to save General Torbert’s house in Milford from destruction. This was an endeavor that was unsuccessful. Marvin worked to save and preserve other Milford historical properties. In honor of General Torbert and his service to our country, Marvin successfully spearheaded the effort to have a statue of General A.T.A. Torbert erected on the grounds of the Milford Museum. Marvin served on the Civil War Society that established the Delaware Memorial/Monument at Gettysburg National Military Park to commemorate the service of those Delawareans that fought at the battle of Gettysburg. Marvin received a Tribute from the Delaware House of Representatives for his work and his accomplishment 137 years after the battle. Marvin was an honorable and distinguished icon of Milford who will truly be missed by all. This is one of the most important sales of our time for local and regional Civil War Memorabilia.

We have to verify that the address you provide on the 4473 matches the information on your drivers license. If the address doesn’t match you must provide a Change of Address card issued by the DMV. If your address information doesn’t match or you don’t have the required Change of Address card you can’t fill out the 4473.
If you are a MD Resident with an HQL please visit the MD State Police Website to fill out your paperwork. This paperwork can be filled out in advance of your purchase. You will need to be provide the Application #/Pin # to our FFL. You must fill out and complete the Online 77R on the MD State Police website. The Application & Pin # information is sent to you in an Email when you complete the online submission. Bring a printed copy of Application #/Pin # Email to the Auction with you.
With the MSP system the FFL pulls up your 77R information by the Application # that you provide. The FFL enters the handgun information into the FFL side of the MSP 77R program. The purchaser must be present at the time to verify the information you provided on the 77R Application is valid. We will make every attempt to facilitate this process during the auction. If we are extremely busy we may not have time to enter the information into the MSP system in which case you would need to come back to our Facility. We will be available from 9 AM – 12 Noon on Saturday the 27th of Jan., 2024 or by Appt. the following week.
If you submit the 77R info to MSP after the auction please forward the email to jeff@amauctions.com. Again, you must be present at the A&M Auction Facility at the time we submit the Background check to MSP. Questions can be addressed to the FFL Dealer, A&M Auctioneers, LLC at 410-835-0384. Contact Auction Co or view website for complete details.
The 7 Day waiting period begins the day that we submit the background check information to MSP. We normally submit the paperwork daily the week following the auction as it arrives. You will receive an email from MSP letting you know the paperwork has been completed and you can return to the Auction Facility to finalize your paperwork. It’s normally 10-14 days after the Auction for an Application to be approved.
