    Hello and welcome.

    It is very hard to give an estimate w/o pictures.

    Postings pics can help the members give you an estimated value of what your guns might be worth.

    So, if you can, post some pics, and see what happens.

    Agree with PBJ...need pics. In the interim, and in no way a reliable estimate of value/worth: 1) Shotgun is likely a trade gun made in Belgium for the hardware store trade here in the US. Not known for high value or quality...just good utilitarian guns more often than not. 2) Savage model 19 NRA Sporter. Look on the auction side using the smart search function (top right corner of home page) and compare to the several that are no doubt for auction currently. Look for things like originality (no aftermarket parts) and cosmetic as well as mechanical condition. The Savage is a nice little gun and moderately collectable in the higher condition levels.

    KDYSTR is incorrect about the Davenport shotgun. The W.H. Davenport Arms Company was located in Norwich,CT from 1878 to 1910 when it was bought out by the Hopkins & Allen Fire Arms Company. They made utility grade shotguns.

    It is a pig in a poke. If they are not rusted up. Maybe $100.00 each.
