Shotguns

around $3,400 in ok condition closer to 8625 in good condition. at least 13722 in great cond.

That little shotgun was made by Deutsche Werke, a German company that had operations in Kiel, Berlin, and Erfurt. The Erfurt plant made the shotgun and a youth

22 rifle with the same loading and firing mechanism. They were more famous for making the Ortgies pocket pistol, a semi-automatic in various calibers. These arms were made from 1919 until some time in the 1930s. The pistols can be found regularly on the online auctions, and the 22 rifles less often. The shotguns are even rarer, but not of great value. I saw two offered online in the past couple of years, and the price was around $250 - $450.

A shotgun made by Breschia. Unfamilar model name.

I believe you are referring to a .410 (pronounced four ten) shotgun. This is a shotgun chambered in .410 caliber, which is different from other shotguns that are measured in gauge.

It is possible to fire a shotgun without a choke, but it is highly not reccomended, and they don't cost that much

If you select a barrel with no choke (cylinder) it will cause the pattern to be looser than for a barrel of a shotgun that has a tighter choke. The extreme is "full choke" which keeps a tight pattern out to the effective range. Full choke is typically used for waterfowl.

A shotgun that is pressed into double duty (shot for small game and slugs for big game) would work well to have modified choke. Slugs have to be designed to fire through a full choke without blowing the barrel but you will certainly shorten the life of the barrel by firing slugs through a choked barrel. If you can afford an extra barrel, then use a cylinder (no choke) for slugs.

Remington and other shotgun manufacturers have interchangeable choke tubes (see link) that allow you to screw in the appropriate choke for your quarry.

Only SKB knows.

dr eq = drams equivalent. Black powder used to be measured in drams, which was a measure of the volume of black powder used in a load (basically the amount used). When smokeless powder came along later, both smokeless powder and black powder existed at the same time for a while. A smaller amount of smokeless powder was equal in power to a larger amount of black powder. To keep things simple shells using smokeless powder were referenced to how many drams of black powder would be needed to produce similar results. This continued into modern times. A shell marked 3 1/4 dr eq is roughly equal to a black powder load of 3 1/4 drams. This allows an idea of how much power a shell has regardless of the actual amount of powder that is inside the shell.

I just left the national gun show in Louisville and looked at a very clean one tagged for 100. There were several, but this was the cleanest one I found. Last year during the election hype, they brought 120-150, but have settled back down. Mossberg bolts are good shooters, but they will not keep the $ as much as Double Barrels. Stevens dbl barrels are going for 600-800, and the rest are safe keepers in the 3000+ range.

If you are interested in selling yours, I would be interested in looking at pics and shooting you a price, depending on where you live.

Remington had re-introduced the 16 gauge Wingmaster in 4 version as recently as 2002, but there are no 16 gauge shotguns in their 2009 catalog.

Which Model?

No known sn data published. Most likely from turn of the century.

The road block shotgun you may be referring to is the Mossberg 500 "Road Blocker". It's a tactical use Mossberg released in 2009. Google "Mossberg Road Blocker".

Between 1 and 1 1/2 gauge

You must consult a lawyer and the BATFE for a current and legally correct answer.

The Mossberg 185k 20ga shotgun was manufactured from 1947-1950 so it's anywhere from 62-65 years old and it's worth from $50-$200 depending on condition.

The term can from the old days when there was a stagecoach driver and an armed guard with a shotgun to protect the coach from being robbed. Side Note: It didn't always work.

about $100 if its complete, clip and all. not many people are looking for a bolt action 20g. there is one on www.gunbroker.com

Cut off the top of the shell, remove the shot and the wad, then pour out the powder. Though, I don't know why you would want to.

I have one of these and have never seen another

Any where from $250 to $550. Depending on the condition of the gun.

Impossible to answer without a DETAILED description of ALL markings, condition, accessories, etc..

Proofhouse.com has a store brand chart that might help
