BV3-OQ6-CC5 = $1,336 for a 12 bore shotgun.
Dangerous game rifles seem to value at about 4X shotguns. 4X $1336 = $5,344. Sorry that this number will be disappointing to you.
I think rarity pushes the price higher than that....if the gun was a 12 bore shotgun the value would be closer to 2 grande on the low end to 4 grande on the high end (based on condition)...."$1336" if it was a 12 bore shotgun is kinda absurd in my opinion. If it was a 12 bore and we used my low estimate of $2000 x 4 = $8000.... I think my estimate is closer to reality.

Joe, in the world of gun description, acronym and shorthand and terms particular to firearms abound. SLE - sidelock ejector SLNE - sidelock non-ejector BLE - boxlock ejector BLNE - boxlock non-ejector All hammer guns I have seen are sidelocks; i.e., A type of action on a break-open gun where the lockwork (hammer, sear, mainspring etc.) is mounted to the back side (inside) of a plate (or pair of plates for a double gun). Other actions would be boxlock or trigger plate, and www.hallowellco.com has the best description of these terms in the "Firearms Dictionary" on its site. Regards, Tim

The top lever should add a premium to this gun.

I don't know about Double Rifles but box lock & trigger plate hammer shotguns have both been made so "ALL" hammer shotguns are not sidelocks.

Miller, my comment about hammer guns as sidelocks clearly referred just to those "I have seen." Your remark is informative, as usual, but the snide quotes around "All" is unworthy of you.

Tim;
I didn't mean it to be snidey. Many, many year ago in elementary school English we were taught there "Are Exceptions to All Rules". I totally agree the vast majority of hammer doubles are Sidelocks but just meant to emphasize there are Exceptions.
Most of the ones I have seen have been in the area of "Hardware" quality guns. I do not off hand know of any double rifles so built, but not able to say positively none were ever made.
Actually at present I have in my custody A hammer double 12 marked New Baker built prior to the move from Syracuse to Batavia which I would call a trigger plate action. J Stevens made some box lock hammer doubles. A cousin of mine has a W H Davenport 12 double which has the hammers coming through the top of the frame rather than on the outside as on the J Stevens.
I do apologize for my post coming across as snide, was just trying to emphasize something I learned a long time ago, be extremely sparing with the use of the words Always or Never. It's best to precede either word with "Almost" because "Almost Allways" there are exceptions.

Thank you for the clarification, Miller. I was clearly overly sensitive in my response. You are right to observe the need for care in use of always or never.
Best, Tim

I don't think any apologies are called for. I am a bit confused about the originality of a hammer gun in .470 Nitro, although I am sure such things exist. Tell me if I am overly sensitive, or absolutely off base.

Gun is believed to be from the early 1900's. What is the birthday for the .470 NE?
