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 .
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.
King Nitro was a trade name used by the W.H. Davenport Firearms Company, of Norwich, Conn., on shotguns made for the Shapleigh Hardware Store of St. Louis, MO. They were made roughly between 1890 and 1915. It should be a single barrel side hammer gun with 26"-36" barrels and extractors. Barrels were blued, with a case hardened receiver and walnut stock.

I believe this is a Boito Era single barrel shotgun. Made 20-25 years ago. A cheap disposable shotgun. A lot of the parts are not hardened.
