The gun has a broken trigger, and one ceased hammer. Hammer when striks doesnt hit anything.
EDIT: the barrel says choke bored and laminated steel BELGIUM also says premier on the side

How much do you guys think this is worth?
 
It is one of thousands of Belgian bargain priced doubles that were shipped to North America in the 1900's. Quality was not the greatest nor was the price when new. Probably short chambered(shorter than 2 3/4 inch) and definitely Damascus barrels. Likely loose in the action as well, definitely not a shooter. You might get $50 for it as a wallhanger.

Yup, way too many things wrong with it to bring it back to shooting condition,( and it is not often i say that!):p
$50 for a parts gun and only of you can find someone looking for back action parts.
It's not even worth making it into a wallhanger as it is missing a trigger!

I'd say it's an ideal wallhanger. No worries about anybody using it!

At the very least, it would have much higher value at a police gun buy event, so don't just throw it away.
 
Thanks guys. When I bought it it wasn't told it was broken this bad, when I saw it I just wanted to get my money back. I'll just call the person I bought it from and explain that it's broken. Either way didn't pay too much for it.

The words laminated steel would say it's not shoot-able as I would take it that means the barrel is Damascus steel.

Really? Damascus means not shootable does it? On what do you base this pronouncement. Probably news to me, Gunsaholic and catinthehat, just to mention three of the 8 posters on this thread so far, seeing as we all shoot Damascus barreled guns.

Please don't spread misinformation. If you don't know, ask. That's what this forum is for.

It is a form of damascus but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be shootable if the bores were good and it had sufficient wall thickness. There have been more and more of these old damascus guns put back into use once people got over the myth of damascus guns being good for nothing but wall hangers. It all depends on the condition of the barrels, as well as other aspects of the gun of course. And proper shells also have to be used. If a person is one who just wants to grab a box of modern ammo off the shelf, then these guns are not for you.
The gun in this thread has more issues than just being laminated steel barrels.
