Joe Surviving Hunter Arms serial number records show no hammer guns built in gauges smaller than 16-bore, so if your gun was indeed a 20-bore it would generate tons of collector interest and therefore probably be a pricey item; however original shipping records for your serial number show that your gun is a 16-bore, thus fitting the correct gauge mould. That said, a 16-bore Smith hammer gun in high original condition will still have a fair amount of collector interest.
