Default Can anyone help me put a value on this gun?

Old 10 ga and I'm curious roughly what it may be worth.

Thanks

Judging by what appears to be a significant gap between the breech face and the barrels it looks like it is 'off face'. That would have a negative effect on value.

It also looks to have some 'oil soaking' of the stock head which has allowed for the chip of wood missing from that lower corner and the crack behind the lock plate... as well as the lock plate slipping back from the frame which would normally be held tightly in place by solid wood that hadn't been compromised.

Less than $1000. More than $500.

Serial # is 83XX, which I believe means it's pre-1878, correct?

The serial number is stamped into the left side of the barrel lug while the order number for the gun is stamped in the barrel flat of the right barrel.

You really don't need to substitute X's for the numbers.

If you have the serial # right (note what Dean said about order vs. serial #) and it is 4 digits beginning with 83 then it is an 1876 manufactured gun. If the barrels are in good shape it could probably be brought back to shooter status. In it's current shape it is probably worth under $500 to most people on most days. It is hard to say without more pictures or the gun in hand. Gotta love those lifters of any grade.

Dave Purnell has brought back to life a many
PARKER HAMMERGUN, I know in that shape
He would pay a few hundred dollars and when finished
They would be beautiful and no telling the value of his time, but might sell fixed up $ 900 dollars.

My experience values mentioned are about right. Stock damage visable in the photos put it at the low end. Any barrel problems Even less, a lot less.
