What's it worth?

[JERK]

I have a buddy who want to get rid of two Harrington & Richardson, Inc. Trooper Model 58's. I tried looking online to find and info on how much they are worth, but had no luck. If anybody could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

More info is needed.

If I asked: "How much my old '62 Dodge stepside is worth?" Wouldn't you need to know more before you answered? BTW, I already got rid of it.

Seriously, the guns are worth what someone is willing to pay and not what a book says. But, we still need to know more about them to give you a price range.

Well, they are in great condition. I don't know the year of production. One is a 12 gauge, the other 20. Other than that I don't know too much.

Q I have a harrington&richardson shotgun model 1212 2 3/4 over&under.How much
is this gun is worth?
A Between $350 and $150 depending on the condition of the gun.

Topper 58 (Typo?)
QI have a H&R MODLE 58 TOPPER ,.410 bore.I think I am ready to part with it,but don't know what it is worth.The one thing that sets this gun appart(maybe makes it rare,maybe not)is that it has a chrome or nickle platted barrel,and realy light wood,I have refinished the stocks with light oak stain and linspeed oil.it is almost identical in color to the original finish.I have seen plenty of 58's,but none with a silver barrel and light wood(all had blued metal and dark walnut finish)It has a 3in.chamber, shell ejector and serial #AR261xxx,U.S. PATTEN # 3988848. The gun is in brand new shape other than the refinished stock,still has original blueing on the hammer and the brake open action is as tight as a new gun.fore end dose have one deep mark on it.

Photos coming up. On a side note, they are chambered in 3", can you shoot 2 3/4" out of them?

My 2cents

Well, they are in great condition. I don't know the year of production. One is a 12 gauge, the other 20. Other than that I don't know too much.

As long as the barrels are stock length and you can maybe figure out if they have chokes. Excellant to good condition - no problems. 125 to 150

Rust in chamber or sawwwed to legal limit 100 to 75.

Worn out - headspace is excessive - broken springs - stock chewed on by Pitt Bull. 50

BUTTTT 12gauge 3inch chamber - great condition - nice case hardened frame 150

20 gauge 3inch chamber same same 150

2 and 3/4 inch chamber only 100
