    I have a Continental Arms Co. single shot 20 gauge. I cannot find much on it and was wondering if anyone knew what it would be worth. Stock is in ok shape with minor scratches and dings and the barrel needs reblued. Other than that it is in good shape. Anyone know? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I believe You have a CONTINTAL, Model 90, Made by Stevens Arms..
    In the condition You discribed...I'd have to guess the Value at $125.00.....Best...

    To add a bit to Captain Kirks information. The gun is what is known or called a "Trade Brand Name" shotgun. That is a shotgun made some time between 1880 and 1940 by a major maker for and sold by a wholesaler or retailer who chose the name to go on the gun, I have listings for three shotguns with some form of the name CONTINENTAL. They are: Continental Arms Co, made by J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company for and was sold by the Marshall-Wells Company opf Duluth,MN., The Continental made by the Great Western Gun Co of Pittsburg.PA and Continental Arms Co 1915 made by Harrington & Richardson Arms Co, sellers unknown. I mention all three because sometimes correspondents don't list the entire name. Values? The values of these old guns depends on their condition, the amount of original finish remaining on the metal and wood as well as the mechanical condition. Values can range from a high of about $175 for one that appears to have come out of the factory yesterday afternoon to a low of $10 for a rusty rotten incomplete piece of junk fit only for a tent peg. Most sell in the $50 to $100 range.
