Ah, nice. I'm not too concerned about what the gun is worth right now. I think I got a good deal on it, but it's difficult to tell. For the time being, I'm assuming that it's worth what I paid for it, no more and no less.
I think my biggest motivation for acquiring this gun was nostalgia. When I was growing up, my father had some sort of double-barrel hammer gun hanging on the wall by the fireplace downstairs. I always thought it looked cool, but I was too young at the time to appreciate what it was beyond some sort of antique side-by-side. I'm still not sure what type of gun it was, but now I get to have something similar of my own.
