I am trying to get a value on this gun for the owner for insurance purposes. He does not want to sell it. This is a 1926 #1 frame 16 gauge DHE with approx. 99% original case color. Other than 3 minor rust patches the barrels are like new. There is no wear on the barrel lug to speak of. This is a double trigger straight grip(correct in book) 30 inch barrel 16 that has a leather faced pad. Please look at the pictures and give me some idea as to value. Could the pad be original to the gun?

Thanks,

Asa Kelley
