Stevens 410 pistol
I saw a Stevens single shot, tip up, .410 pistol at a gunshow last weekend. It was not for sale, but was sitting on a stool behind the table. I saw one of these 40 years ago when I was a kid. It is my belief that these are Class 3 firearms and illegal to own without getting the proper permits through BATF. Is this correct? What is the value of these pistols. This one had a rust brown patina, but otherwise excellent mechanically. I told the guy to keep it out of plain sight till he knew what the liabilities were.

an elderly friend of mine showed me one of his treasures one day, and it was new to me. he asked me what it might be worth. i can't find it in any book. it is a j. stevens breach action pistol in .410 (not a cut down shotgun)with gold bead sight. can't remember model no. and he probably won't show it to me again.
any ideas?0 -
Yes, it is a Class 3 firearm, and illegal to possess without it being properly registered. Value = $0, unless it is legally registered.
On second thought, it actually does have a negative value... $250,000 fine and/or 10 years in a Federal Penitentiary not of your choosing
