Vee, 89008 would be from 1901. It is a 3 pin 1 screw back action lock. At this time Royal Steel is found on quite a few hammer guns even though it was the cheapest offered at $20.00, Best English Stub Twist was $23.00 and Good Damascus was $25.00. Hard to give an estimate without seeing it, but in fair condition, $250-$500. Most of these guns had pitting in the barrels from not being cleaned and will bring less.
