Need info on shotgun please

[Coyote Hunter]

I just purchased a shotgun whose name I'm not familure with. It is a Paragon Model CS 12 gauge with what looks to be factory 18 or 20 inch barrels. (I just got it home.) The serial number is T26099. I bought it just to shoot black powder blanks through for our Wild West train and bank robbing we do. The finish is worn to almost bare metal, but the bore is excellent and works perfectly. The stock does have a crack in it that I will repair. Does anyone know the age or value of the gun? I paid 175.00 at a pawn shop for it. It's a lot cheaper and more authentic looking than the new coach guns from china.

Thanks,

CH

It sounds like the Paragon made by the Baker Gun Co., although some guns with that name were imported from Rottweil in Germany.
