If I was selling it I'd ask 4 to 5 hundred...if I was buying I wouldn't want to pay much over 3 hundred.

Lets take a swipe at an objective evaluation. We need three factors: Brand Value (BV) level, Original Quality (OQ) grade, and Current Condition (CC) level. I will offer two definitions for each factor and lets see if we can sorta get a consensus on which one fits best.
For BV: 1. Lessor known Continental maker's and/or associated with lower quality, or, 2. Unknown makers, retailers, and unmarked "guild" guns.
For OQ: 1. Plain BLNE, or, 2. Farmer's/colonist gun.
For CC: 1. Limited use - slight finish wear, little shooting, or, 2. Significant use.
OK, pick the one definition from each of the three factors that you think best describes this gun as it currently sits. I'll attach a $ value to the consensus definition.

Sideclips are a small plus, but the Greener Crossbolt looks to be in need of adjustment or showing signs of wear. Exterior looks to have been "freckled" with rust and cleaned up, leaving a propensity to rust again. A plain using gun with some risk that the crossbolt will need work. Doesn't seem to be much interest in SXS's these days. I would think a hard to sell item for more than about $425.

Gentlemen,
Thank you for your input.
Sure not like trying to evaluate a Fox, Parker, Winchester or such.
Be interesting to see what Rocketman's system comes up with. Pretty neat way of doing it.
Thanks again, Jolly

Drew, I don't think that's a lower case r. Those letters are in script, and on the sheet I have, the long leg is on the other side. More like a mirror image of a lower case r. But then . . . I can't find anything that's a really good match. 1950 or 1960 are maybe the closest.

It does look more like a 50s import Larry. Canons Delcour S.A. was in business until about 1968 when they were acquired by Fabrique National de Herstal.

I have one in 16ga. A letter from the NRA Dope Bag said it was imported in the 50s.
