A guy at work recently asked me about a Wilkes-Barre shotgun. I had never heard of the maker. He brought it in and it is in very good condition, maybe 50% well executed engraving, bores are in excellent condition, damascus barrels are not rusted or pitted, wood is VG-excellent. Seems like a really nice old shotgun. I found that the company was only in business for three or four years back in the early 1890's.
There are no proof marks or other markings on the gun besides the three digit serial number and the maker's mark. Because of the age of the gun I am assuming that it is built for black powder. It seems very well made. Can anyone give me a rough idea of a value for this gun? The fellow wants to get it insured.
Thanks in advance!
