Before everything else, I know that condition is utmost in determining value.
This is a 1909 damascus barrel 2e grade; the "e" designating ejectors. It is nearly a hundred years old and looks old. But not abused, not hunted heavily with. The stock may have the original finish on it, yet, it may be a very old refinish. It has a deteriorated red rubber pad. The receiver "may" have a wee bit of case color remaining, but it's difficult to tell because of the overall patina. The receiver is engraved with a cute little quail.
The damascus bbls show a nice pattern, no dents or bulges, and the insides look beautiful. Here's the kicker; it has a second set of L.C. Smith steel bbls, in fine condition.
I do not have any pictures.
Help me out. What might this be worth?
