Engraved on the right side of the receiver is “FALTH of Australia RS,” along with a kangaroo on the barrel close to the receiver. I would like some information about a lever-action rifle with a scope mount and rings that I recently inherited. Probably your best bet to sell them would be at a gun show. If the Canuck 12-gauge shells are also paper-cased, they’d also be considered collectibles. If these are complete with the original 25 unfired paper-case shells in each box, they could sell for $100 a box, or even higher. Most intriguing are your boxes of Canuck 20-gauge. I’ve seen similar boxes with asking prices of $25 to $50. 303 British would be of collector interest especially if they are all unfired cartridges. The Imperial 20-gauge slugs and the Dominion. Any of the more recent ammunition, especially shotshells with plastic cases, would be valued about the same as any other ammo being resold-that is, less than retail. When I first looked at the photo, I thought for a moment I was looking at my own ammo storage shelf. I’m just wondering if it might be worth anything, and where we could go to have it appraised or sold? W e were clearing out family stuff that’s been in storage for a long time and came across a suitcase with old ammunition (above). It’s better to keep it as a memento of a bygone era. And I don’t see any value gained by having it refinished. I prefer not to refinish vintage firearms, as I would rather see them with the marks and wear earned over a lifetime of use. I’d estimate the value of your gun to be around $150. It stated that “ many of these guns are 70 to 100 years old and system failures can and do happen.”Īt this time, there’s not a great deal of collector interest in older Marlin slide-action shotguns. In 1998, Marlin issued a service bulletin recommending many of its early slide-action shotguns, including this model, should no longer be fired. It was similar to the earlier Marlin 28, made from 1913 to 1922, but with a more utilitarian finish on the wood and metal. The Marlin 43 hammerless shotgun was made from 1923 to 1930.
