Default worth more to you as a shooter

if it works use it. These were pretty much entrance level guns mass produced in Belgium for a variety of distributors. Often sold in hardware stores in a barrel by the exit for impulse buying at bargain prices (around $20-30).
If it works it is worth more to you as a shooter than any inherent value. Similar to the spanish El Faisan design they have limited value other than as a cheap hunting 410.

Got one kicking around here, does look very much like an El Faisan, Spanish for pheasant. Trigger pull is undescribablly heavy. Pretty crude and apparently hand built by apprentice gun smiths, poor parts interchangeability as a reuslt. Cheap junk, paper thin barrels,look crooked or twisted. Interesting curiosity and wall hanger, decided I wasn't going to take a chance on shooting it.
