    D.Wales. 6 Bore

    I have a D.(Durrant) Wales shotgun 6Bore 7" shells "not for ball" Damascus barrel half engraved hammered single barrel break open shotgun. It's huge, gotta be 5 I found out that D. Wales was in business from 1868 to 1909.

    If I can figure out how to post a photo I will.
    I'm toying with the idea of getting ammo made for it but still a Little Chicken about it.
    How do you figure out what this beast is valued is?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I would wait until I determined a value for that pup prior to making a decision on whether or not to shoot it.

    Thanks for the pics!
