    Yes it's worth something. Condition is everything. Famous brand name that made serviceable to fancy grade.

    added maybe he will lucky and it will be Wells Fargo stagecoach gun.
    I'm betting cut down due to damage or for crowd pleasing.

    20" barrels, very unlikely to be original, for a older hammer gun.

    The name also might be bogus. Back around the turn of the 20th Century. All kinds of inexpensive Belgian made hammer guns, were imported with spurious English looking names.

    We need quality close-up photos of the gun, and all markings for identification and valuation.

    That [a shotgun with 16" or shorter barrels] would be illegal.


    Not necessarily.

    If the gun were manufactured prior to 1899, it would be considered an antique weapon, and FEDERAL law against short barreled shotguns wouldn't apply. (State law still might).

    This sounds nuts, but as a company WW Greener does go back that far, and its not entirely impossible that this might apply. WW Greener actually does still exist, and they might be able to assist in establishing date of manufacture here (or establishing the legitimacy of the gun, vs a knockoff).

    Also, if the gun were registered as a short barrelled shotgun, it might still be legal (although that seems improbable).

    Assuming neither of these things are true, it would be a shame to have to have something like this destroyed. If, for example, the barrels of the gun were removed, and sold or transferred to a different individual such that they were no longer under the control of the guns' owner, then the gun would no longer be legally considered an NFA item. That would at least remove the immediate legal thread of possession, I think. Might be worth consultation with a lawyer to see if there is some legal procedure that might be followed to get this done correctly.
