Looking for price of gun.?

Question

The gun is an Essex Gun Works double barrel shotgun. Its a 12gauge with engraving or scrollwork. I don't think its worth much but I have not been able to find alot of information about this gun on the internet.

Answer 1

Vangion is correct. Modern ammo would bulge the barrel. Shine it up and hang it up.

Answer 2

Check here for value.>> gunbroker.com, auctionarms.com, gunsamerica.com, icollector.com.....

Answer 3

Value would be no more than $250 as a wall hanger

Essex were either made  or imported by Cresent Fire Arms Co, for Belnap Hardware Company  from about 1840 to somewhere just before 1900

Probably a Damascus barrel that is unsafe to fire modern ammo through

Answer 4

See if your local library has a copy of the blue book of gun values.
