Yours appears to be made in 1881 by the serial number. It is in probably above average grade and also appears to be a 10 gauge. I could not tell by the pics what grade of twist barrel it had as that will add to the value. Value depends on the bore condition (how much pitting and how deep) , grade of twist, original case hardening and the condition of the wood. 10 or 12 gauge are priced about the same. If the barrels are sound, (no cracks, the rib has not started to detached, no buldges and the welds look good) yours would start at about 1000 to 1200 and above.
