The description of the show said someone brought in a "three-barreled shotgun", so of course, I had to watch. I suspected it was actually a drilling and not the very rare three barrel gun.
It was a drilling, which Rick kept calling a "drillings". It was a Sauer and Son 16g over 9.3x72. It had nicely restrained engraving and a folding sight. Also had a sidelever and a toplever, so I'm guessing the sidelever may have been to cock the rifle barrel.
The stock was cracked and one hammer was replaced. The barrels (Damascus) looked to be in good condition, but were not closely inspected.
Their "expert" put the value at $1500 to $3500 in "excellent" condition. Pretty big range, but I think that in excellent condition it would be closer to higher range. He put the value in the current condition at $500. The shop offered the seller, $350, which he refused. I would have loved to buy that gun for $500!
Anyway, it was interesting to see an old double on a mainstream show, but the misinformation was frustrating. They kept calling it "wall hanger" and said it would "blow up" if you shot it because it had Damascus barrels. grrrrr.
