Marty—it appears to be a Model 37 AYA. These were true sidelocks and are faithful copies of the Merkel 303 model. I’ve owned a number of them over the last 40 years, including several in 20ga. They are difficult to sell and don’t command a high price considering that they are sidelocks. The interest factor is low. Obviously the 20 bores sell much better. From the pictures it appears to have a short LOP, so keep that in mind if you decide you gotta have it. Restocking is not a feasible option. Despite higher asking prices you might encounter, I’d suspect that 2500-3000 is the limit on this gun with one set of barrels. The other barrels, to me, would be worth something in the range of $7-800 a set. That’s my take on values from my experience. Others may differ, but the current market for 12 bore field/Skeet guns, especially offbeat ones, is very soft.

If it's a 20 I think Bill is in the ballpark except I would place the extra two sets of barrels around 800 to 1000 so in total $3300 to $4000. If it's a 12 walk away

What gauges are the barrels? The stickers usually suggest a pigeon gun.
