Any American made rifle from this era, especially a shotgun/rifle combo is definitely NOT a "low grade" wall hanger. From what I can see of this combo gun, it is well stocked and the inletting is nicely done. There is normal wear, but no apparent abuse (other than the broken hammer). This piece may not ever go to the field again, but if it were to be sold at a well advertised auction I would expect it to bring several thousand dollars. The key here is that it is American made (most lilkely) and there are many more collectors than nice pieces available. Supply and demand is what it is all about! Would love to see an overall view and a closeup of the rear sights.
