Excelent single barrel shotgun... inexpensive russian made!
I do not know too much about the value of such but I have one, a ten guage double barrel with external hammers that my dad bought from a pawn shop in the 1950s. I have no wish to sell but would also like to know the history .
The 12-gauge double-barrel side-by-side shotgun marked "Made for Richland Arms Co., Made in Spain, Blissfield Mich, Mod 200" is likely a Spanish-manufactured shotgun that was imported by Richland Arms Co. for the American market. The value of such shotguns typically ranges from $200 to $600, depending on their condition, rarity, and market demand. It's recommended to consult a firearms expert or appraiser for a more precise evaluation based on its specific condition and features.
If you are asking about one of the Diamond series automatics or pumps imported from Turkey in the last 4 or 5 years, I can't help except to say they seem to be moderately priced in new condition. I will assume you are holding a Diamond Arms single or double barrel shotgun c. 1890-1914. These were made for Shapleigh Hardware Co of St Louis by various manufacturers in the US and Belgium. Some will be hammerless, some back-hammer boxlocks, and some open-hammer sidelocks. There will be damascus, twist, and fluid steel barrels. A newer gun with fluid barrel may still be useable, but most should be retired and are valued only as a mantle decoration. Double barrels usually trade for $150-$250 and single shots for $25-$100 depending on condition.
Theate Freres of Belgium if it is a double with outside hammers. Crescent Fire Arms if it is a hammerless double. Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle if it is a single shot.
