Is a Bridge Company 20 gauge shotgun that has a engraving that says Black Knight on it worth more?
Well, it's worth more than one with the same markings in 12 or 16 gauge. If it is a single shot, that would be from $50 to $90 depending on condition. A double barrel would retail for $150-$250. If it is hammerless or has back hammers and fluid steel barrels, it MIGHT still be useable (have a good gunsmith check it before you try) or if it has side hammers or twist barrels it is a mantle decoration.
