1860s? Purdy sxs shotgun value

[GarrettW]

Ended up with this in a parts lot and reassembled it. What I’ve found so far is I believe it’s a 1850s-1860s Purdy of London 16ga Sxs. Mostly original with the exception of my repair to the stock and trigger guard. If it’s considered a cheap gun in this condition, I’ll keep it but if it has a decent value I might let it go.

Thanks. That tells me what I need to know. I missed the sold price on that one but it’s pretty much identical. Definitely going up on the wall!
