You can get way more money for the whole thing than any sum of parts. Where are you located? We can send you to someone to check your gun out.
Okay,
I really messed up; the 8 on the barrel end was part of the weight stamp (5 8-- as in five pounds eight ounces).
Sorry for the confusion.
It is a "Twist" Damacus barrel, 10 gauge, hammer, built in 1885, all components in operational condition ( now cleaned and oiled by me--- although not sure I can reassemble to the working order as found?)
They are 32 inch barrels, measure .850 at muzzle , .750 at barrel end, .060 thickness of steel at barrel end.
Might continue to clean, repair stock, reassemble, and make a nice wall hanger?
Might part out?
Into it pretty cheap, so a nice wall hanger is where I am think now.
