doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Help valuing a gun....?

I have a old W&C Scott and Son 12ga. Very old, external hammers, it's rather lose, obviously not safe to shoot in current condition.

I'm in NE Florida and I'm wondering if anyone can recomend a reliable, honest, knowledgable, guy who can give me a honest assessment of what it is worth.

There is a young man in Boston who wants to buy it but I have no way to give him a fair price and he has no way to value it either. Obviously I don't want to give it away but I do not want to be unreasonable either. In fact as this thing has just sat in the safe for, well decades, I think it would be a better use for it to be out and fixed and enjoyed by someone, so if you've any suggestions they'd be appreciated.

It is not likely to be worth a lot, but step one is photos.

BV-4,CX-5 or BVCxY-6

I don't do smiley faces, but Homeless deserves a few. Even Don Amos should smile.

Homeless Joe,I'm home today with a vicious head cold. I really don't know if it's good to laugh so hard when sick but I could not help it. Don, Joe is coming around just needs a little more practice with the codes.

I never heard of 'Don Amos' is he related to Don King ?

One out of nine letters is lower case. What can be the meaning of this? Hj understands plenty well! He just finds it demeaning to admit to intellect. Now, Hj, translate your code for us, huh? WheRe are thOse smiley faces wHen yOu neEd them??

Joe, Don Amos aka Rocketman is an engineer of some renown. He developed the concept for, designed and constructed an apparatus which measures MOI ( momentum of inertia )of guns, which tool is most valuable in appraising the handling characteristics of double guns. Being an Engineer and due to his personal bent he approaches issues and questions with objectivity and critical analysis whch results in clarity of definitions and better understanding. His guide to gun value is definitely a good tool for appraising guns as we often let solely emotions guide our decision. I regard his opinions as being well thought through and of substantial benefit.

that BVCxY has me puzzled is he going long may corn futures?

Sorry about the jOke Don...I couldn't help myself.

Before I can decifer my code I will have to see pictures of the gun.
