    I's worth more than I have, unless your willing to do some swapping....ummm how about, my wife, a beagle, and a goat, even up for it
    Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.

    GUNNY: This is to tough a call to make sight unseen...I'd suggest that the owner go back to Krieghoff International for an estimate of worth..It would be a lot better evaluation as they know the Gun...Best...

    I saw one the other day on a collectible site for.....I want to say.....$8795. I have no experience with them, but I hope that may help some or any.

    When in doubt...empty the magazine!!

    I have a drilling myself, dating around 1928, but the only way that some of these drillings can be given a value is, how much some one wants to pay for it. If your drilling is in the condition that you say it is, then it could fletch a good sum. I myself would not buy one of these on the auction without first looking at the firearm, just so many things to consider.
    I would first look in "The Blue Book of Gun Values" and see if this one is listed, then start digging around a finding some one that might be in your area that may deal with drillings. Check in the Shotgun News and Gunlist and see what you may find. You might get a better price from some one that is actually a collector of drillings.
    DON'T BE IN A BIG HURRY ON THIS ONE!

    Look for Nazi proofs. The Drilling was a survival gun for WW2 Luftwaffe.
