Large cache of firearms for ID.

fredsherq

I've recently inherited a large number of firearms from my father, who had in turn inherited them from his father. The majority are long guns; including rifles, combi-guns and shotguns as well as four pistols.

A few were easy to identify as they were actually stamped with make and model. Currently I have ID'd all four pistols as follows: 1) Colt Mark IV Series 80 .45 2) Harrington & Richardson .410 Handygun (with holster) 3) Ruger Mark II Target .22 with extra clip 4) Hungarian P. Mod 37 jhv41 'waffenamt' marked, with extra clip and original leather holster.

One Rifle ID'd as: Colt AR-15A2 Sporter II with flash suppressor and bayonnet lug.

As for the remainder, I was hoping to have some of the many experts here weigh in on exactly what the long guns are and how much the individual firearms may be worth. I know very little about firearms, so any help is appreciated.

I will be posting pictures over the next day or two of all the weapons (including the above listed in case I've made an error), so stay tuned to this thread and thanks in advance

It's registered as a prohibited weapon where I live. I have paperwork for all of the weapons. But thanks for the concern

What is the approx. value of each of the above listed firearms?

Edit: I know the Colt pistol and AR are both unfired.

The Hungarian is in good condition with a few scratches on the slide, I believe from the holster's metal clip.

The Ruger looks in perfect condition, though I'm not sure if it's unfired.

The H&R is also in good condition with no damage or marks.

Ref: H&R- If you are in the US- and have the paperwork where it has been registered with the BATF as an "any other weapon" (assuming you have the 10" barrreled 410 PISTOL) it would be worth roughly $600-$1600, depending on condition. If not registered, value is $0- it cannot be. This is in the same general category as a full auto, suppressor, etc, in that it requires FEDERAL registration. On the other hand, if you are not in the US, ignore that. [:p]

Alright, update on the long guns that are marked:

1) Stevens, Savage Arms .410 bore Model 58B bolt-action
2) Remington Woodsmaster 740 .308 (scoped with B. Nickel Supra Marburg/L)
3) Remington Gamemaster 760 .300 (scoped with Weaver K25 Pivot Mount)

Approx. value?

Finally, the unmarked firearm photos:

Sets are itemized. I believe item4 to be a Winchester 94, though I'm not sure.

Any ideas?

Number 3 looks like a Mossberg 341 or 342. It should have the name and model on the barrel.

Your item 5 is a Drilling, the European three-barrelled gun. This one has two shot and one rifle barrel, the usual combination. I can see in one picture that it is marked Nitro, meaning tested for smokeless powder. There were a lot of small makers plus the guild guns where every gunmaker in town did his part toward a finished firearm. A lot of them did not carry brand names. There will be more proof marks on the bottom of the barrels and the receiver exposed by taking off the barrels. Doubt it will tell a maker but it should give an idea as to gauge and caliber. A common rifle caliber and 2 3/4" (70mm) shotgun chambers will enhance the value. If an uncommon caliber and 2 9/16" (65mm), well, at least it will clear things up.

Item 3 is a Mossberg .22 rifle, I don't recognize the model, but it is a common, good quality rifle. The peep sights and apparently nice condition are plusses.

Item 4 is a Winchester Model 1894 or 94 rifle. Caliber should be marked on the barrel. The takedown feature, half octagon barrel, and pistol grip add interest but the worn condition detracts.

Item 1 is a side by side combination gun, known as a Cape Gun for its popularity in the Cape Colony. Again, value depends largely on the caliber and gauge. Appears a bit neglected. I am not familiar with Tirs Liege United Arms, but since Liege is in Belgium, I figure it is another of those European guild guns, this one marked for the name of the guild. Maybe someone will have a reference on it.

Item 2 is a double shotgun with boxlock action made, as marked, by W.H. Tisdall, a fairly prolific manufacturer in Birmingham, England. This one LOOKS good, but has Damascus barrels, the which most sources will recommend NOT be shot. These days, not even with the black powder they were made for.
