Though the gun has a lot wrong with it, a 20g DHE with titanic barrels is worth much more than a couple hundred dollars. Any day of the week if it is whole and goes bang. Period. If the gun were put on gunbroker with a penny start, it would be far more than that. For sure.
A gun like this has great restoration potential if one would desire to go that route. Providing that the barrels are sound. Just for what the gun is, the cost of a proper restoration would likely not exceed the value of the gun when done. This is not always the case. And there is nobody in a better position to do that than the one who inherited it and paid nothing for the gun. I know a number of people out there who would buy a gun like that and then pay for restoration on top of it.
