The Blue Book is worthless. Completed listings on Gunbroker are a lot more realistic. I just sold one of those, with Damascus barrels, for $400, although it wasn't quite as nice as yours. I would guess $500 topend for yours. One thing that hurts the value is that those guns have 2 5/8 inch chambers, and NOT 2 3/4 inch like more modern guns. Modern 2 3/4 inch plastic hulled shells will fire in them, but are recommended to be used sparingly, and nothing with high pressure.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, I would just have a hard time not buying any complete, functioning gun that’s 120 years old for 4-500 bucks. The Gunbroker prices I’ve seen don’t reflect that, but if I was an expert I wouldn’t have asked. It’s too hard to nail down the exact model specifics and condition for me. Thanks
