reg2876 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hi all I just took posession of this nice little poachers gun , I matched up most of the stamps with the belgian ones i found online and as far as i can tell i think this one is from the 1930s (however i am by no means an expert on this !!) the barrel length is 28 inches and the foresight is still in place . the gun overall looks to be in pretty good condition and as far as i can tell un modified, it weighs next to nothing and has next to no recoil. It's not really my sort of thing and i'm most likely going to sell it so if anyone can give me any info about the gun or what it may be worth i would really appreciate it as i've so far drawn a blank .

bruno22rf Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 .410's are hot property at the moment but a single with a repair to the stock?-£50-£70 at a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldous Huxley Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Price has to be stated, on a sidenote, it is worth more than £20.00. Someone said one of mine (in worse condition ) was worth £60.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longrangesniper1953 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Hi Mate Not A bad little gun mate I'll give you £30.00 Quid for it and take it off your hands, as it stands if you want to turn it over quick. What lenght cartridges does it take. Is there any pitting in the barrel ! Regards Steve :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexouk Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 would be a nice gun for a collector or someone who likes to do up guns. 410's are quite sort after at the moment but this one might be a bit to old for general use. I think it's down to what someone is willing to pay. The £50-£70 mark seems fair enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexr Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) Ive seen a number of these sell at the auction a Byrnes in chester. They can sell well at about the £70 to 90 mark, but it is dependent on condition. Having said that I have also seen them go for a lot less.

Bleeh Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 There are 3 main problems you'll have to look into to figure out the value. One, what is it chambered at? - most of them are only 2'' .410 which is a pretty useless cartridge. Two: Pitting. (You see alot of it in older belgium style .410's) Three: Are the barrels straight? - A common complaint is that through the cheap manufacturing process, you can often get one barrel slightly twisted around the other, moving one barrels patten a good foot or so out to the wrong direction - you will want to check this too.

vampire Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Had exactly the same in a collection i bought,it was in old condition had a lot of play and barrels were pitted therefore dangerous,took it to two seperate local gun dealers who both said to put in auction £11.50 and you might just get your money back,even offered to swap it for box of cartridges which they werent interested in,so i dobbed it in to feo who said it not worth anything and that they have hundreds of them handed in,such a shame cause it was such a cute tiny little gun of no weight. Have since seen these sell for over £50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
