A friend of mine showed me a Burgess slide action shotgun that belonged to his uncle. Apparently the uncle used it for many years rabbit hunting. I may be able to buy it. The Blue Book(23Ed) has nothing on it. I am familiar with it's history. What are these guns worth? This one has a stock in good antique condition. The damascus pattern shows thrue a patina and there is an even patina(rust) on the action. Suprisingly the inside of the action is bright metal and not rusted at all. I did not see the bore. This one is not a take down model. There is a bit of quality engraving on both sides of the action with a duck or bird flying in the middle. I thought it would be a good candidate for a refurbish or left as is if it is more valuable in that condition. I'm sure it's seen it's share of smokeless loads thrue the years. I know that these are not real common and this one appears to be a higher grade with the nice engraving. What do you guys know?
