Leonard Day Flint swivel breech

[denster]

Any one have a ballpark figure on value, dollar wise. It is an early gun from the 70's no frills used but not abused. One rifled and one smoothbore barrels. Thanks for any assistance.

Some more details (caliber/gauge, maybe some pics) would be a lot of help.

40rifled over 54 smooth.I don't have the gun to take photos. Just looking for a serious guess.

you dont give a lot of info, but i would guess almost any rifle, shot gun combo with a decent quality of manufacture and was a twist barrel would be worth 500 to 700$. a lot of it depends on the quality of manufacture. if its a crude piece of junk its worth maybe 200$

if its finely crafted, handmade and shoots good it could be in the upper teens.

Leonard Day was a great builder of these beautiful swivel breeches, and his used guns nearly always
fetch north of $1200 minimum.
