Info on shot gun found at estate

[Dean Romig]

Jeff is correct that it is a NH in ten gauge but he incorrectly typed that it is a G grade. It can't be both a G grade and an N grade. It is indeed an NH grade which is also referred to as a Grade 1. A GH grade is also referred to as a Grade 2.

Confused yet?

Trojan is not number graded.
VH is also a Grade 0
PH and NH are also Grade 1
GH and EH are also Grade 2
DH is also a Grade 3
CH is also a Grade 4
BH is also a Grade 5
AH is also a Grade 6
AAH is also a Grade 7
A1S is also a Grade 8
Invincible is also a Grade 9

Thanks Dean, however still confused My gun is an 1890 NH grade 1, this is as far as I got so far. OK I am new to this. Now when you get to value can you give me some Idea. I am thinking if this gun is worth enough I might just get it restored and use it . any ideas on this. Gene

[Bill Murphy]

No need to get it restored. It is probably ready to shoot with a little lightweight cleaning with very fine steel wool and oil on the metal and a little Murphy's oil soap on the wood. Anything more than that will cost a fortune and lower the value of the gun.

[Pittypatdugan]

Probably worth in the high hundreds. Just shoot it ,

Is that a scratch running fore and aft on the left side of the stock, or is it actually split?

[Gene Fox]

its a scratch

Steel wool??
I suggest brass wool instead.
