I just came across a Thomas Bland & Sons 12 Gauge full choke barreled shotgun It is missing a hammer on the right hand barrel. Its number is 83090. Is it worth saving

Thomas Bland & Sons of Birmingham and London, England was founded in 1840.
They made average quality guns and the firm was still in business in 1970s.

You don't say if its a breechloader or muzzleloader, but either way an exactly matching hammer is likely impossible to find, and its value is probably as a wallhanger (with right side to wall).

More and better pictures will be needed if opinions of any value are to be offered. Complete gun, both sides, close ups of: butt stock-both sides, forearm, receiver-both sides, top and bottom, proof marks, barrels-both sides, top and bottom. Precious little can be determined from the one picture. This is similar to asking if a 1971 Hemi 'Cuda is worth saving with a picture of just the grille.
