410. Double barrel side by side. Antique ? Worth?

[Brianma65]

Nice shotgun.

 

[Brianma65]

Thinking about buying it. The skipper who has it said he can use .44 rifle ammo in it. This ok?

El Faisan is the model as it just means Pheasant in Spanish. Many Spanish guns by different makers were marked El Faisan. There will likely be a maker's code stamped on it somewhere. In any event, the folding .410 was a low grade utility gun. In my opinion, they are not worth the kind of money that some ask.

Locally they go for $250-300. I've never seen one go as high as $500. It's not an antique, they were imported in fairly large quantities in the '70's.

Don't think there is such thing as an antique Spanish .410. Spanish shotguns are about as low end as you can get too.

Not all Spanish shotguns are low end. Think AYA and Ugartchea.

As well as Grulla. Once again, sunray has no clue as to what he is posting about.

I'm doing some work for the guy , and he started taking out all these guns, the one in the pic, a Luger .22, and 6.5 or .35 ? Cal handgun, it was tiny, about4 inches long, said if I do a good job he may sell a couple, not sure what happens if I do a bad job..... .

If you gave him $500, yer werk'n fer minimum wagers.
$250 is more'n nuff fer them.

Yep. Unfortunately not a great quality gun. They seem to sell well though.

 

[BigUglyMan]

So much "no" in this thread its not funny.

"No" - don't shoot 44 in it
"No" - don't listen to sunray
"No" - don't buy it

 

[Brianma65]

It looks very antiqueish,and I thought it was valuable, but now I have seen a over under .410 at crappy tire,and it has caught my eye. Lol.

 

[HeadDamage]

I bought one for $75 and sold it for $150 a year or so later.

My father hunted most of the last 40 years with one, which he passed on to me. I've never seen him miss a grouse on the wing with it. Nothing wrong with them as a close range grouse & bunny gun. The dimensions are a little small for me but I did manage a double on grouse with the old girl last fall. It put quite a smile on Dad's face.
