Old Drilling Value

I found a old german drilling in fair condition.It does not have any makers name,no engraveing,lots of wear and nicks,boxlock.Seems tight enough to shoot.16ga.x16x9.3x72r.How much is this gun worth?It looks to be made around 1910 or so and has the under lever for break open.The gunshop is asking $1200.00 firm.Krupp fluid steel barrels.Cartridge trap,flip sights,hammers.

The asking price seems high for the condition you describe. I have an absolutely MINT and perfect 16x16/9.3x72R hammer drilling, that I would sell for 1500. And I do mean "perfect".

The differences between what you describe, and what I have available....sound much greater than what 300. represents. Pictures available.

Blackbearhunter, Do you have access to a copy of 'the blue book of gun values'? With out any details of the gun in question, it sounds a bit much. No markings marks it hard to determine anything. Better yet, if you can, try to post a photo of it, if the gunshop owner will let you, maybe someone here will know?

Did you end up getting the broadheads I sent over to you?

Cheers, Dave.

Value in Europe will be close to Zero!
Typical "wallhanger".

Asked around here in OZ too, same answer. Wallhanger. Best offer was from a collector, sight unseen. $100 AUD. If you are serious about one, stay away from the one you looked at, at least at that money!
Maybe talk to DB BILL, he may have something you might like?

Cheers, Dave.

No brand or makers name no scope. My gunsmith says 500 EURO.
