Thank you. Any clue to it’s value? It’s worth what I paid for it to me. But if I ever get stuck and needed to move it .....
Would more pics help? Of what?
Thanks again.

Nice V Grade, in really nice condition. Many of us would be happy to have a 16 gauge like that in our collections. I hope your letter turns up some additional information about the gun, and that you get afield with it often.

Before a value could be determined it would definitely require more pictures. We would need to see the checkering on the stock and the forend for starters. More detailed pictures of the action and the butt treatment would also help. The finish on the barrels would need to be evaluated for originality as well. And then there are the measurements of the stock including length of pull and the drops. The barrels are extremely important on these old doubles. We would need to know the chamber length, wall thickness measurements, and the choke constriction. That's a lot of information for someone to gather that does not have the knowledge and or the tools to measure these guns properly so you may need to consult with a gunsmith or a friend who has the knowledge and the tools to gather this information if you do not know how. It's a long learning curve but a very rewarding process should you choose to take it on.

One more thing for you to consider. Go to the for sale section and look at some of the guns that have been posted there. It will give you a good idea of the amount of information that is required to determine a value.
