For an old gun like that, I wouldn't pay a nickle over $50,000.00.

And I'll save $2500, that doesn't happen everyday.

Clickers,

A mighty fine lookin shotgun you have there!      It would look real good next to mine.  NO HOPE I suppose.

Rick,

It is indeed a nice shot gun.
I've been waiting for you to tell us something about it.
Who is it made by or imported by? Any names on the top rib or lock plates?
I posted the information on the 1865 Roenne shot gun, because there is a surprising number of "old" shot guns out there that can be quite valuable. Then again, there are a lot that are not.
Tom Hunger, the fellow at Brush Creek Armory has the knowledge to help you find out more about your shot gun. Things like is it black powder or nito proofed, what is it chambered for, 2 inch, 2 and 1/2 inch role crimp, or 2 and 3/4 inch star crimp.
Just some ideas on keeping "Thunder & Lighting" happy.

 Well to tell the truth i am in the learning aspect of it.I got this by way of Wolfgang here.He came by to visit and ended up giving me some powder and some loaded brass shotshells.I have never seen loaded brass shotshells before,i was totally impressed! THe next thing i know i get an email stating "you need a shootgun and now there is one on the way/
I says HUH?He said he was a liquid type feller(?) and he made a deal with another feller that needed to sale one and you can pay me back next time i see yas...Well not being one to look a gift gun down the barrel i says OK by me~Now he might have done it just to see me get knocked on my a$$ seeins how i have a rottin hip and he knows damn well i'm gonna shoot it somewhere and video it But until then i are a learning about it.

It's a Huskvarna model (A)? with greener style system,ivory front site,and horn buttplate and i love the sound the brass shotshells make when ya shake "em" I think Floyd is in love
