See if your local bookstores carry Fjestad's "Blue Book of Gun Values". Or the Gun Digest's gun value books. If they don't carry them you're best bet is getting in touch with one of the major gun auction sites and getting an appraisal for each rifle. Normally a fee is charged for this service. Also see if there is a up-scale gun store in your or a nearby town. They usually will do appraisals as well, but make sure they know it's retail value you're looking for, not what they'll give you.
Whatever you do, do not sell them for less than $2000-2500 each until you have a hard appraisal for each rifle. With original Colt SP-1 rifles graded NIB or 95%+ going for $1500+ depending on model, those very rare and collectible rifles should go for a lot more. I know of a recently sold Colt SP-1 Carbine used, good condition that went for $1500. Those early Colts SP-1s are in demand and any unusual and rare variants such as those you have will bring top dollar.
