looking for info on old side by side shotguns

[crooked barrel jed]

Hi guys, I have a couple of old shotguns I'm looking for info on. One is marked Hanson & Co Birmingham, it's a 12 ga side by side double hammer,not in very good shape with a broken stock. The other one is marked W Richards in script on the side lock and marked steel barrels on the barrel rib, also in not very good shape with a broken stock. they don't belong to me but the guy they do belong to wants to know if they are worth repairing,I kinda think not but I'm checking.
thanks
Jed

Photos are needed to be sure of what we are looking at.
Pics of the watertable would be very good as well as the locks.

I knew as soon as I posted, that I would need to get some pics up. I'll try tonight.

Quite likely to cost more than they're worth to repair. New stocks would likely have to be custom made. Possibly any internal parts as well. The rest of it will depend on what "not in very good shape" means.
