Blackpowder Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I own a Robert Hughes of Birmingham box lock non ejector shotgun. I am told its out of proof and the stock feels loose to the action. Slight pitting in the barrels but I was using it at seed time earlier this year with no problem. The action features a rather simple game scene and retains a lot of its original colour hardening. The barrels are extremely fine grain damascus twist barrels. I had intended giving the gun to a local gunsmith for spares but wonder if sending it to auction - would it be worth anything due to the barrels as the gun itself cannot be worth much spent on it?

Gunman Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Sorry to say that it has no value . An auctioneer can not sell it other than as stock action and forend ,if you get £20 you will be lucky then by the time you have paid commission and the cost and time of getting it to the auction you will probably be out of pocket . If an RFD will take it off your hands I would let him do so , as the only really usable parts will be the main springs and possibly the ribs if he dose a lot of barrel work .
