My dad asked me to try and get some opinion's and value's on these four guns so any help would be appreciated.
1. Weatherby .300 Magnum with 'inner chrome barrel' and Mauser action, serial# 879. The estimated date of manufacture is 1951.
2. Ithica 2.75 inch 12ga 'Centennial Edition' with case and belt buckel, serial# 0402. Dates stamped on barrel are 1880-1950.
3. Marlin 32 RimFire lever action w/round barrel and tube feed, serial# 71804. The dates stamped on this barrel are, Patent: Nov 18,1878-April 8,1888 aswell as Aug 12,1890-March 1,1892.
4. Remington 'Humpback' 12ga auto w/full choke, serial# 170153. Stamped on the barrel is: DDU3 Full - Patents 10-4-1890 to 12-17-1901 and then 4-30-1902 to 6-16-1903.
Of course pop's is getting up in age and I have not personaly verified this info but I will and I will also have pics available within the next 4-5 day's.
Thank's in advance,
Gregg

Pick up a copy of "The Gun Traders Guide". Available in the Sporting Goods Dept. of most Wal Mart's for about $15.
And go the auction side here, and do a search for each gun listed, to see what real world prices they are bringing. Consider only auctions that have been won, or have bids over reserve price. (Anyone can set any price on anything. But if it doesn't SELL, it's likely not worth that price).
Note also that auction buyers pay shipping and usually FFL receiver fee's. So you can generally add about $50. to whatever the winning bid was as what the winning bidder was willing to pay.
Thanks for the advice FatStrat,

1. The Weatherby my run as good as $1800 down to $1k depending on condition. don't grade it too hard either Older Weatherby's hold their value.
2.The Ithica runs the gamut, is it a model 37 or 51?(auto, pump SxS?)Featherlight?
In presentation grade they all run from top end of $1700-ish down to high $700-ish. With one exception and that is $3000. But, we'd have to have photo's and a model number.
3. Still working on this. I've only found rounds chambered in 32-20 and .32 SPL
4. That sounds like a model 11A. Patent purchased from Browning. In mint condition it could run up to $360. But it sounds like it's a shooter/hunter and my go for $180.
Weatherby:
The Marlin and believe it or not it says nowhere on the gun what caliber it is![:0]
The Remington auto 12ga also I had a typo in which I said stamped on the barrel is DDU3 but it is actually DUU3, hope that helps.
Now to the Ithica which is the honey of the bunch and dad says as far as he knows it has NEVER been fired and after witnessing it's condition first hand I would tend to agree.
What did you ever come up with for the values if I may ask?
I did have one update for you and that was the Ithaca. Most of the Model 37's don't bring much over $300....with a few huge exceptions. The $3000 model which is currently worth more than that. And, one year after your Centennial model is the presentation Grade, which brings around $1200. I don't have the exact listing of your Centennial model but I'm thinking it would be right in line with the Presentation grade.
