Hello and thank you for reading over my post. I know absolutely nothing about firearms. I actually just purchased this shotgun and I'm trying to establish its value. It is dirty and it does need a good cleaning. The stock seems to have some modified wood work. It seems like a nice gun and I bought it with the intention of keeping it for home protection but after looking over some of the dates on it, I'm wondering if it doesn't belong in the hands of a collector. There are several dates on the barrel of the gun that date back to the late 1800's. Any and all help, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Thanks,
Sean
