So was going through my gmas and gmpas antiques last night and found this... my grandpa said it was his grandpas lol so its pretty old....

I know we got some gun gurus on here.... so what do you guys know... all i know it its a T Barker and it looks to be from the 1800's






i will say its in extremely good shape for its age

 

sadly everything ive seen says its only worth between 150-200 dollars

 

Yep, it's from the late 1800's early 1900's. They were belgian imports sold in various US hardware stores, namely sears. The T Barker name is unfortunately not a high end one. In fact, they were named T Barker in order to make you think they were affiliated with the 'Parker' ... or maybe even the 'Baker' gun companies. (Parker are much higher end gun people).
As far as value.... I dunno. Maybe $200 max on a good day. They're pretty common and not that well built. Makes a decent 'wall hanger', but I wouldn't shoot it.

 

Yeah, pretty much. Just proves that anything old isn't valuable. lol...
I've had my share of old worthless guns.

 

^^lol so ive read^^ just wanted to confirm my readings grandpa is prolly better of just keepin it then

wish i could get my hands on the old rifles my dad has i beleive they date back to the civil war..... maybe ill give him a jingle and see if i can get a look at those too

 

Time to take it to Pawn Stars!

Haha na, something like that looks like it has a lot of family history and is something i'd keep going!

 

lol im not so much worried about selling something as i am to find out it worth a bunch of money haha
