jager: disregarding the barrel issue, what is the value here?
With vintage English double shotguns it is different or difficult. To be worth a lot Ole' Betsy has to be in proof, have right name on barrel rib and or side of action, large "Ghostie Spirit", plus be from company with old ledgers full of well known clients. The facts that gun is high grade and from maker with London address are not enough. As an Englishman way say the struggle is the glory. Quite remarkably member of this forum has workable formula giving us pretty good estimates on value of old English shotguns.
