The value of a Witte Special 12 gauge double barrel shotgun can vary significantly based on its condition, age, and any unique features it may have. Generally, prices can range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars. To get an accurate valuation, it's advisable to consult a firearms appraiser or check recent sales of similar models.
This is a Stevens gun, probably a Model 5100 or 311. Value in like-new condition could be as much as $200. If rusted or busted, then about $20.
Various manufacturers, primarily Crescent Firearms and J. Stevens Arms.
Several different trade names include the name Witte and were made for Witte Hardware in St Louis from the 1880's to 1920's. Double barrels marked Witte Special were made by J. Stevens A&T Co / J. Stevens Arms after 1914. If your gun actually has the "'s" on the name, it may be something different. Value as a shooter (only if approved by a competent gunsmith) or as a wall decoration would be $150-$250, depending on condition. * Just noticed that this is a 410. Add $50 the top-end price, even more if it is like new.
I have been looking for a 12 gauge Witte shotgun. Not sure what they are worth. Do you have one for sale?
50-100 USD or so
I asked the site the question. Obviously you dont know.
John G Witte, perhaps? He was a dealer in New York c. 1875-1900. Stevens may have made some guns with his name on them. Stevens made a fairly large number of shotguns marked with various versions of the Witte's name for Witte's Hardware of St Louis, Mo, c. 1880-1920. A .410 double from Stevens should be worth at least $150 if it is not a total basket case and as much as $450 in like-new condition.
Guns marked as Witte's Special were PROBABLY made by Iver Johnson, and were marketed by Witte's Hardware in St Louis. That said, Crescent, Hopkins & Allen, and a host of other manufacturers made hardware-store trade-name shotguns. The value is universally low with little collector interest, and would not make $100. www.countrygunsmith.net
