It's a low end hardware store gun from between the wars. Not in bad shape and would probably bring 175-200 at a consignment auction and less at a gun show where people tend to know more about guns.Just my opinion but I have seen a lot of these sell at auctions.

"from between the wars"
I would think it could be older, from before WWI.
With kind regards,

If the bores are good, it would sell here in central Europe for $300 easily.

I inherited an almost identical Royal Gun Works gun from my uncle several years ago. He, my dad and two other brothers learned to shoot with this gun in south Georgia during the early 1900's. The oldest was born in 1906. number two in 1913, my dad in 1915 and their youngest brother in 1922. The gun was passed down to each successive brother. My uncle related several stories how he and my dad would hunt together and take turns shooting since they had to share the gun. It digested several thousand rounds. The barrels "thinned out" at the muzzle over the years and were cut back several times. They measure out at 22" now. The buttplate cracked and fell off somewhere along the line so they made a pad out of an old worn out tire. This is one of those guns that has no collector value, probably not shootable, not much to look at but full of stories if it could only talk.
