Comment on Elgin products from USA magazine.

 

"Elgin Arms Company: Trade name used on shotguns made for the Strauss and Schram Company of Chicago. The value will depend on the exact configuration and condition. If it is a boxlock, either hammerless or with back hammers, it probably has fluid steel barrels and could (if approved by an experienced gunsmith) still be used as a field gun and be worth around $200. If it has side hammers, it probably also has laminated barrels. These should be retired and usually sell for $125-$150 as mantle decorations."

 

Not quite the ££2 - 3k but never mind.

 

See you next year
