          Smaller pics would show the overall condition of the gun better. Those large pics probably make the gun's condition look poorer than it actually is.

              Smaller pictures, yes.

              A picture of the water table will show the grade, remove the barrels from the frame, the flats in front of the firing pins are the water table. Also, a picture of the barrel lug area (the area that locks into the frame) would be useful, the serial number of the frame should be stamped on the lug if the barrels are original, the forend’s metal assembly should be stamped with the serial number on its interior side as well.

                  Looks like you have a grade No. 1 in 16 gauge made in 1895

                        Appears field grade. Enough corrosion, it's a wall hanger (IMHO). I wouldn't shoot a corroded damascus gun.

                        I'd say $300 tops for that purpose.

                          Agree with JagerDog. It is quite beat up.

                            Yeah... "Damascus barrel. No bueno." is right up there with "don't hunt rabbits before a frost", or "don't use Brasso in your media tumbler".
