Belgian Pinfire Shotgun - Help with value

Member Posts: 5 ✭✭
I have an old double barrel underlever pinfire shotgun. Double exposed hammers and two triggers. Everything seems to work fine. The wood is really nice and the metal is engraved. I can find no manufacturer names on the shotgun, but some of the proof marks on the receiver and barrel are belgian in origin. I would guess it to be about 16 gauge. The receiver and barrels appear to be silver in color. Any help as to manufacturer or value would be appreciated.
Thanks,

By virtue of the fact that you have a pinfire gun, it's too early to be included as one of the glut of cheap imports that we call Belgian clunkers. That's the good news.
The bad news is that construction may be no better than the above mentioned guns and pinfire's in general are of no great shakes to collectors.
Unless very special the value will fall right in with the later guns. Somewhere between $100.00 and $250.00.
