The value of a .45 caliber muzzle loader made by Richland Arms Co. varies with the condition of the gun. On average, this gun retails for about 150 to about 200 dollars.

Beretta firearms produced in Italy carry a proof mark for the year of production. The chart below is used to identify the year by this mark. For recent pistols this mark is usually located on the frame near the trigger guard, for older pistols, the mark is on the slide or on the frame behind the grip area. Shotguns have this mark stamped on the barrel near the chamber. You may need to remove the barrel to read the mark. On some older firearms, produced between 1925 to1954, the actual date was stamped instead of a code mark. In this case the date can be located near the test proof marks on the frame. The exception to this occured during the regime of Benito Mussolini. The Italian Proof House used a roman numeral system marking the year of his reign which began with "I" in 1922. The first Beretta firearm using this dating system was the Model 1934 pistol (introduced in 1935), thus the year was indicated as XIII (usually marked on the slide) and refering to the 13th year of Mussolini's regime. This practice ended in 1945 with XXIII at the close of World War Two and the chart below takes up from that point. It should be noted that some wartime production firearms were void of any marking to indicate the production date. We have also seen markings where roman and numerical figures are combined, for example XX7 for 1971, XX8 for 1972 and XX9 for 1973. MARK YEAR I or 1 1945 II or 2 1946 III or 3 1947 IV or 4 1948 V or 5 1949 VI or 6 1950 VII or 7 1951 VIII or 8 1952 IX or 9 1953 X 1954 XI 1955 XII 1956 XIII 1957 XIV 1958 XV 1959 XVI 1960 XVII 1961 XVIII 1962 XIX 1963 XX 1964 XXI 1965 XXII 1966 XXIII 1967 XXIV 1968 XXV 1969 XXVI 1970 XXVII or XX7 1971 XXIII or XX8 1972 XXIX or XX9 1973 XXX 1974 AA 1975 AB 1976 AC 1977 AD 1978 AE 1979 AF 1980 AH 1981 AI 1982 AL 1983 AM 1984 AN 1985 AP 1986 AS 1987 AT 1988 AU 1989 AZ 1990 BA 1991 BB 1992 BC 1993 BD 1994 BF 1995 BH 1996 BI 1997 BL 1998 BM 1999 BN 2000 BP 2001 BS 2002 BT 2003 BU 2004 BZ 2005 CA 2006 CB 2007

Try a good gun shop. H&R makes a fine single shot 20 gauge.

I have been looking for a 12 gauge Witte shotgun. Not sure what they are worth. Do you have one for sale?

I have a Continental Arms Co. 12 gauge shotgun that is probably about 70 years old that belonged to my grandfather. Any ideas of value and where do I go to sell it?

We just went up to clean my grandmothers house after she passed away and found about 50 years worth of stuff. We found this old rifle in a corner with no trigger and its the same gun. I have the very same question you have my friend. I can say that it was made before 1959. ;) I googled it and found a wiki about j Stevens arms company but ill continue the search.

According to the guide I use, IJ Made a "Special Trap Single Shot Hammer Shotgun" and a "Super Trap Hammerless Double". Both discontinued in 1942.

That's a Savage or Stevens model number, but it won't tell us the gauge. Any firearms dealer should be able to tell you the gauge by looking at the gun (unless it is a really unusual size) but a gunsmith can measaure the chambers and also tell you the length of shells it is supposed to use.

value of your Remington nylon 11 is from $500-700, there is one for sale on guns America now listed for $660.

I can't place the manufacturer however it is not a famous name such as Greener. As such, the value of a damascus barrel shotgun is as a wall hanger. There is too much potential for hidden corrosion to weaken the barrels (not considering the higher pressure of smokeless powder shells) with the risk of the barrels exploding for it to be wise to use the gun. You might visit auctionarms.com or gunauction.com to see if a similar gun has been sold and what the price might have been.

In general, if you can get $100 for it, you're doing pretty well.

The Charles Daly company has been an importer of German, Belgian, Italian, and Japanese shotguns and combination guns since at least the early 1930's. The country of manufacture should be marked on the barrels or on the receiver.

The Belgian and German guns were not imported after about 1933.

The Japanese guns were manufactured between 1968 and 1976.

The Italian guns started manufacture in 1976.

The serial number, by itself, may be useful to an advanced collector in better identifying the gun, but is otherwise of no help. Model designations are more useful.

This is somewhat akin to asking "Who first came up with throwing rocks?".

The earliest firearms were large bore, unrifled, bronze or iron tubes which were loaded with a charge of black powder followed by lead balls, handfuls of stones, scraps of iron, whatever was at hand that fit down the bore and might inflict damage if thrown hard enough.

Since a shotgun can be loosely defined as a smooth-bore (unrifled) weapon capable of firing multiple projectiles (a load of shot, for example), the very first firearms were essentially shotguns. Who made the first one has been debated for a long time and probably will never be answered. Roger Bacon is sometimes credited with the invention of gunpowder in 1249 but he is only the first European to have written down a crude recipe, likely copied from earlier Arab sources and the Chinese had been using black powder much earlier though only in fireworks. The siege of Metz in 1324 is believed to be the first use of black powder cannons in warfare. So, who "invented" the shotgun? No one knows.

Depending on the condition it could be worth $50-$125.00. I own 3 that are mint and one that is new in the box. The one new in the box is at best worth $190.00. Hope that helps.

Go to gunbroker.com and take a look at the 100 or so Browning A-5 semi automatic shotguns that are offered. Prices start ( in Aug 2007) at 200 and go to $1000 for a Belgiumj A-5 new in the box. Rebluing will reduce the value of your gun by 50% at least and if the general condition of the gun, dents, dings, rust, are present the gun is further devalued. Engraving enhances the value of a gun especially if it is custom factory engraving. Good luck

I'm not going to be a huge help, I've got a single shot .410 with the same markings and haven't seen another like it. I've been told by my father in-law that it was a store brand, that he got as a kid. Good luck.

how much is a steven's 12ga model 770 shotgun made by savage arms corp worth?

The most important thing you should know is that you should never again shoot the gun. The damascan barrel could have hidden corrosion that can cause the barrel to blow apart is fired with a modern smokeless round.

The next most important thing to know is that the gun is essentially worthless. It makes a good decoration (called a "wall hanger" since it should be hung on a wall and never used) or a mediocre club but its days as a firearm are over.

Your gun known as the "Flues Model" after its designer was made in 1918. These firearms were made in many different grades, which can have a huge affect on value. The condition of the firearm will, obviously, also have major impact on value. Assuming your gun is in good working condition and a FIELD grade gun, by far the most common, a 100% gun (as it came from the factory) could probably fetch close to $1500. A very poor example, still working though, about $300.
