    No real value, honestly. As the others have said, it's probably 40+ years old, and probably worth around $100 if it's in excellent condition. If it's in good condition, $70. In poor but serviceable condition, maybe $50.

    If it doesn't work, or is badly rusted, it might be worth $20 for someone who wants to plug the barrel with concrete, clean up the metal, and hang it on the wall as a decoration.

  • An H&R 16-gauge single-shot? I'll just take a wild-assed guess that it's at least 40 years old and might be worth $75 to $100 only because 16's haven't been very popular for quite a few years now. Of course, the condition will make a big difference.

    common brand. nothing special.

    harrington & richardson arms co made inexpensive shotgun, rifles and handguns until 1986. in 1988 H&R 1871 revived the brand and continued making inexpensive single shot shotguns, rifles and pump-action shotguns.

    in very good condition your 16 ga is worth $120. average condition- worn and with a few dings & nicks on stock, $75-$100.

    the (old) H&R ued a date code system that can determine year of manufacture. first letter can indicate year, I know P = 1954

    yep, just an old common shotgun. the 16 ga is a little rare, but shells are more expensive. if its in pristine condition, you might get 150 bucks from the right person, but an average wholesale value is more like Mr. Mops said. 75-100 bucks.

    Source(s): bought a brand new H&R single shot 5 years ago in stainless steel for 130 bucks. i imagine the one you have was about 50 bucks brand new. getting 100 bucks would be a pretty good return, if you dont allow for inflation.

    I don't know the age, but the value would be $50-$75 depending upon condition.
