I was talking guns with my boss and he said he had an old gun that he got from his dad and no one can tell him anything about it. I told him I had just the place to figure it out. Anyone recognize this gun? Have any history on it? Any guesstimates on value?

Thanks for the help.

Thanks! It must look older than it really is. He did say he shot it and lived to tell about it :)

The make and model are both stamped on it. There isn't a lot of research needed. They were your basic utility shotgun. Nothing fancy. Not collectable, and not particularly valuable for anything other than something to shoot. If he is looking to sell it, I would be surprised if he can get more than $100. $50-75 would be more likely. $25 if he wants to sell it to his local gun store. If it locks up tight, it should still be shootable, though the chamber is likely to be 2 3/4 inches only. I would stick to light loads because of the age and materials. These are yesteryear's version of the NEF Pardner shotguns, or the current generation of Rossi single shot shotguns.
