double barrel shotgun Archives
how much is my W.Richards double barrel,dual trigger 12 guage shotgun worth
ser#182
it has silver inlay on the handle. one side is of pheasants and deer on the other side. it loads with 16 g. shell for the shotgun and 7 mm mauser bullets for the rifle. We are sure it is an antique, but haven’t had it appraised yet. can not find a patent number on the gun.
Any other info on and Ithaca Model 37 or A "Champion" 16 Guage shotgun will help also
Thanks Alot
The Ithaca Is a 16 Gauge and the champion is also a 16 Gauge. The guns have been passed down throught my family and I am an avid bird hunter. I love my Ithaca and just wanted to know a little more about it
The champion is a singleshot. All three have 28" Barrels and my reaserch found it to be about 90 years old. The Ithaca is a model 37 featherlight.
Hope this helps
Thanks
I just unlocked it. and it seems like it really sucks. but it took a while to unlock, so it seems like it should be a pretty good gun. is there some secret to using it effectively?
is it pretty much a one-hit kill?

i think i know the answer but its better to get more ideas to see if i might of missed something cuz im almost sure that if theres no empty shell available even if u have the weapon u cant determine if that weapon was the specific weapon used in a homicide unlike other guns it always leaves a certain mark wich can tell u everything u want to know about a homicide specially when u have shells poping out and falling everywhere
Is it because they are cheaper or is there another reason?
Gun is marked with Leader on the left side of lower receiver by the hammer. that is the only markings the shotgun has. So far all the pictures i’ve found do not have external hammers. so any info would be helpful. thanks
Which is better and why do you think so! A side by side or a over and under shotgun.
serial number E65623
"Springfield" is on the side of the gun
We have a Fox/Savage Arms .410 double barrel shotgun. No one we know has ever seen another like it.?
My father-in-law bought it at a small rural gunshop sometime in the late 1960’s. The dealer called and offered to trade him two other guns to get that one back (whether for personal or financial reasons I don’t know). I don’t know what he paid then, but he wouldn’t give it back. Savage Arms won’t release any information about guns manufactured prior to 1995, due to a "management change" and "legal issues". It’s a beautiful gun with a fox engraved on one side. I would appreciate any guesses. J.D., you got anything for me? I hear from others here that I should listen to you because you "know your shi*."
Thanks!
The gun is in shootable conditon. It is a grade two with fine twist barrels. On a scale of 1-10 the gun is about a 7. Can anyone can tell me what it is worth.
I think it was made in Liege. It has 229 stamped on the gun along with the # 24TRB16.
Will pulling both triggers at the same time mess anything up
I bet someone could fire off those two barrels off faster than a modern automatic shotgun. Remember, this beautiful weapon has been in service for centuries and was a common sight in the old west. Why, this gun most likely kept your grandparents money safe as it crossed the rugged frontier. In exchange for its lengthy and noble service it only receives mocking and is now considered a novelty or joke. Why is this once feared gun considered "obsolete"?
He showed me it and it is incredible. It has nice detailed carving and looks very nice and clean. He said he hasn’t used it in decades but he said it worked when my father was a kid. It has two barrels that fire independently and it is a "break barrel" (not sure what that means). If you need more info let me know and i can call him and ask. I have some pics if you need to see it. Click the links below for the pics. Thank you for your help!

How did you come to that value?! I see only 2 New Haven guns on that page – one for ,000 and another for ,000. So why only 00 for mine?
OK I guess it is an 1864 then. Any ideas on value??
