However they actually would know about them at least the value insured by the listed value on the policy and the actual firearms from the receipts and or other documentation presented at the time of a loss proving ownership.
And apparently several insurance companies actually allow for this, however you just have to locate them and or the particular agents.
Most homeowners policies have something called "special limits of liability" that apply to theft of jewelry, guns, cash, and silver. Usually insurance companies limit what they will pay for theft of guns to $500 - $1500 (varies by company). Some will allow you to schedule your firearms in order to cover them fully and this usually requires a complete listing plus copy of receipt or appraisal. Some will allow you to just pay more to get a higher sublimit. I am not sure if this would require documentation.

I too have been covered by Collectible Insurance for a number of years. Basic dollar value policy with a separate edged weapon 'rider'. If I recall, they broker this through Lloyds of London. Of course since I have not filed a claim, they have been very nice and helpful. One exclusion is "government seizure"! [:p]
