Craig D. Bell is an unclaimed FAIR profile for Richmond, VA. FAIR lists Arms & Armor, firearms, swords, ephemera, militaria, and ISA AM credential language, but shows no website, fee statement, formal-use routing signal, claimed profile control, or public USPAP education detail in the FAIR registry field. The ISA profile supplies the stronger practice context: it lists Craig D. Bell, ESQ., LLM in Tax, JD, MBA, ISA AM, as an ISA member since Jan. 8, 2019, with McGuireWoods LLP at Gateway Plaza, 800 East Canal Street in Richmond, an office phone, and an ISA contact form. The profile describes him as a tax lawyer who represents businesses, individuals, trusts, family offices, and estates in tax litigation and matters involving charitable donations and artifact loans to museums, historical societies, and educational organizations focused on antique firearms, swords, armour, and military-significance items. It says he served 27 years as a commissioned U.S. Army officer and focuses as an appraiser on arms & armour and militaria. ISA-listed services include appraisal review, consultant work, equitable distribution, expert witness, and non-cash charitable donations; listed appraisal categories include firearms, swords, artifacts and archeological items, and militaria. Use this profile as a Richmond comparison lead for arms, armor, antique firearms, swords, militaria, artifacts, tax-sensitive donation or lending contexts, and military-history objects, while confirming current availability, report purpose, inspection method, legal/appraisal role boundaries, and fee terms directly.
The strongest public evidence supports arms and armor, antique firearms, swords, militaria, artifacts, archeological items, military-history material, and tax-sensitive donation or artifact-lending contexts. The ISA profile also lists appraisal review, consultant work, equitable distribution, expert witness, and non-cash charitable donations. FAIR itself does not show a website, fee statement, formal-use routing signal, claimed profile control, or USPAP education detail.
Before outreach, identify whether you need appraisal review, consulting, equitable distribution, ISA-listed expert-witness service, non-cash charitable donation work, artifact lending advice, or a standard valuation report. Prepare photos, markings, provenance, acquisition history, condition notes, measurements, prior appraisals or sale records, ownership context, legal or tax deadlines, and intended users. Ask whether the matter is appraisal work, legal/tax representation, or both, and request fee terms in writing.
