Hammer Gun ID
 

Need help with ID of a second hammer gun. 10 gauge serial number 4143.

That’s not a Parker from Meridan . I’d think a Belgian made gun of some sort .

It's not from Meriden either.

Its not from Meridian either.

as everyone has said - made in Belgium

one of many Birmingham maker's names they played off

you may be able to narrow down the dates from the proof marks on the barrels

I’d start by looking at H.D. Folsom .

Better picture of the proof marks. Trying to determine a value...

There are so many marks on the barrel I'm confused about what they mean.

Can't really read the proof marks but I can recognize generally the typical Belgian marks from the 1900ish era. Barrel appears to say some form of Laminate but looks like twist.

The value of the gun is what you can get for it. It is essentially an inexpensive lower grade Belgian no name that has seen a lot of use, has no real collector value and may have had some crude repairs along the way. Value would be what you could get out of it. You see similar guns on GunBroker often, with asking prices all over the map, but selling one is a chore. It's prime market would be as a decorator piece, likely at $100-200.

Belgian pre-1893 with Twist barrels. I don't see a maker's mark.
Knockoffs were made by the 10s of thousands for sale by mail order, hardware and sporting good stores.
It was not of high quality when new and should be hung on the wall after removing the firing pins.
