    So you're saying a 80% to 90% gun?

    But what you haven't shared is grade and gauge. A 1919 gun might also have damascus tubes, so there's yet another variable.

    Smaller gauges command premiums as do higher grades. My guess is that you have a field gun in 12 ga.

    While a very fine gun in every respect, insurance is probably not worth the bother or expense. I can't be more specific because we don't and can't estimate values here.
