need info on .410 SXS
Does anyone have info or knowledge on a F. Dumoulin and Liege .410 SXS with 29" bbl. This gun has dual offset hammers and dual triggers. This is not a percussion gun. I have seen info on a Dumoulin and a Dumoulin in a Liege model but not one which has F. Dumoulin and Liege on the bbl. I do not have possession of the gun but there are alot of stamp/proof marks on sseveral pieces. Also, what would the ballpark value be of a 90% gun of this make?

The original Dumoulin arm-making business dates to the middle of the 19th Century.
After the Father who started the business died his sons took over the business.
There was a F. Dumoulin making arms in Liege at the end of the 19th Century. What his relationship was to Ernest & Henri, the more famous of the Dumoulin family is a good question?
The knowledgeable folks at this link might be able to help you?

First, there are some points that you fail to make clear. A full description of the piece would be nice because it could be anything from what we might call a clunker to a rather nice gun. You also state the presence of proofs. I would ask that you be more specific.
Now for the good news... Even a 90% clunker in .410 is drawing interest right now. In other words it will draw double the $150.00 of a 12 ga. sibling. As quality gets better the value increases.
If your little double reaches the stage of being a mid-line gun, then you're in for a nice surprise. Nothing to plan retirement around, but easily double the value of a clunker.
