What is the value of an Ithaca side by side shotgun serial number 266749?
Gun was made in 1915. Does it have damascus or fluid steel barrels? Gauge? Condition is everything... You can get a good idea from the auction sites such as, gunbroker.com or auctionarms.com.
What is a enterprise arms double barrel shotgun from 1892 worth?
Most of these guns were made with compressed steel which is similar to Damascus. The enterprise shotguns were Belgium. In good usable condition this should be worth about $150.00 to 250 USD.

What is the value of a diamond firearms 12 gauge shotgun circa 1800 to 1905 worth?
Diamond Arms Co. shotguns were made by the Crescent Firearms Manufacturing Company of Norwich Conn. They made good quality inexpensive single and double barrel shotguns from 1892 until they were bought out by the J Stevens Company in 1930. They were made in both Damascus twist barrels and Armory steel barrels and should likely never again be fired. Crescent produced huge numbers of "Hardware Guns", meaning that a run of guns would be marked specifically for a hardware store that wanted to sell them. The Diamond Arms guns were made for the Shapleigh Hardware Co. of St. Louis.
What is the value of 12 gauge double barrel Kingsland Gun Co's Ten Star serial number 190732?
Crescent FireArms Company of Norwich, Connecticut manufactured good quality inexpensive single and double barrel shotguns at its Norwich works, beginning about 1892. The Crescent guns were offered in 12, 16, 20, and 28 gauges with Damascus twist laminated or Armory steel barrels depending on the shooter's wants. In 1898 it was said that these were the best American hammer guns in the market for the money. Huge quantities of these "Hardware Guns" were produced in a profusion of private brands as well as in the Folsom house brand "American Gun Co. of NY". Crescent sold the guns until they were bought by J. Stevens Arms Co., Division of Savage Arms Corp in about 1930. The Kingsland 10 Star was manufactured for Geller, Ward & Hasner of St. Louis, Mo. Steel barrel shotguns should be checked by a gunsmith prior to use. Damascus barrel shotguns should be permanently retired. The value of the firearm is principally decorative and priced accordingly. This information comes from the 2002 Standard Catalog of Firearms.

Do shotgun barrels scratch from shooting?
Depends on age of the barrel, forcing cone type and the shot used. a new Remington 870 will not scratch. an old Winchester m12 will scratch when using steel. lead is good for old barrels, steel wrecks them.
What is the value of a 12 gauge HSB and Co double barrel shotgun with exposed hammers made of armory steel in great condition?
This is a Crescent Arms shotgun and if in very good condition with most of the case color on the receiver and blue on the barrels and tight with excellent barrels it is worth about $300. H.S.B.& Co. was an importer and distributor of shotguns for Crescent and that particular gun probably has a Rooster and is made in Chicago about 1900.
What is the value of a Meriden hammerless steel double barrel side by side shotgun in real good condistion?
Based on the information given I would guess this is a "plain jane" model without much, if any, engraving (most higher grades were marked "The A.J. Aubrey"). The fact that it has steel barrels is a double edged sword, shooters want steel but don't want to pay much and collectors, who tend to pay more, want Damascus. All that said, current asking prices on the various online auctions for plain Meriden 12 gauge guns in shootable condition seems to be between $350.00 and $500.00, the higher grade (more engraving, Damascus or Twist barrels and nicer wood) can run as high as $1500.00 to $2000.00. Hope this helps.
Why is damascus steel good for chef knives?
It isn't. High quality manufactured steels such as Cpm s30v or 440c is always the better choice when it comes to chef knives. Modern damascus is simply made for its cosmetic properties.
Where can you get damascus shotgun barrels rebarreled so that you can shoot the gun?
It is possible that you might find a newer version of the same gun with fluid steel barrels that would swap, but I doubt it. You would probably have to have the barrels sleeved to a smaller gauge and the extractors modified. A good gunsmith with a full shop of tools should be able to do this. Check the yellow pages. The damascus barrels are not the only reason to be cautious about shooting an old gun, so a smith should check it out anyway. If this old scattergun is one of the top tier names, it MAY be worth the cost of any improvement, but if it is just an inexpensive Belgian import c. 1900, it would be cheaper to pick up a used Stevens double to shoot and hang the old lady over the mantle.
Why are the barrels separating on the shotgun?
If you mean the two barrels are separating from each other, then the solder joining them has failed. A good gunsmith can repair this. If you mean the barrels are "unraveling" then you must have an old twist-steel barrel that has been over-stressed and it cannot be repaired.
