What is the value of a double barrel shotgun made between 1818 and 1909?
No disrespect intended, but honestly, with no more description than you have given, it could be anywhere from $10 to $50,000 or even more. If manufactured in 1818, it could still be a flintlock and by 1909 it would almost certainly be a breech-loader. A "typical" utility double barrel, either a percussion muzzle-loader circa 1830-1880 or an early breech-loader circa 1865-1915, should bring from $100 to $250 as a mantle decoration. Shotguns by the top makers like Westley Richards or Parker Bros will bring thousands of dollars.
