Default Help on value

Not sure what I have
I have what I thought was a 12 gauge and have it it for 20 years. Inherited from my grandfather who bout 6 of them that we're sequential in serial number. I am hoping someone could tell me what I have in terms of rarity and approximate value.

Sn: 399xxx which means I think manufactured in 1884?
Frame size is 3 which according to this site is for a 10 gauge, whereas I always thought it was a 12.
There is no grade listed above the sn on the water tray but from this site I determined it is a DHE. From the pictures I seen.
Barrel weight is 5 (4).
Type of steel listed on the barrel is twist

It has hammers, two triggers and a lever on top to break it open to eject spent shells. It does have ejectors. There is also a little shield below the lever which is why I think it is a DHE. I have no idea how to judge condition on a 200 year old gun but it seems decent.

I posted public pictures under Marc in the album section.
