Hey guys, so my dad has decided to thin his heard of guns and I am trying to help him find the value of the guns. Most of them I have been able to find similar ads and priced accordingly. The last gun I can't see to find any ads of is as follows

Marlin Model 30, exposed hammer pump shotgun chambered in 16 gauge. It is also a takedown version. Serial number puts it at 1915 ish production date. Finish is a nice patina with no rust. What do you guys think is a fair price???? will attach pictures below.

Hey, a quick google and a safety concern comes up on this gun. I'd look into it before firing and/or selling

yeah I saw that, seems to be if parts are worn/broken/loose it can lead to the hammer following the bolt. They just recommend having it looked over by a gunsmith and using low pressure shells. Figured anyone looking for a old model 16 or 30 would research or know this. Sorta along the same lines as anyone looking to buy a trap door Springfield would come to realize not to shoot modern ammo in it. Still looking to get a rough idea of its value though
 
I don't know all the various details of the safety factors but it doesn't seem to stop people from buying them
I sold a 12ga version for $250 plus shipping and it was in similar to worse condition.

A Winchester in similar condition would probably go in the neighborhood of $450-500 because of the non safety issue. Sad cause these old Marlins are cool old shotguns.
