Info needed on two old barn finds.

I work with a guy who has no interest in firearms at all. He recently was rummaging his family's old barn back home and found an old safe with two shotguns inside. He is considering selling them but first want some more info on them. I've got a few crappy cell phone pics he sent me via text.

Here's the first one . A marlin model 49 12 gauge.




Also, on the marlin it was missing the brass screws that hold the charging handle on so he replaced them with rivets.....I know, right. Anyway here's a pic of that:



The second gun is a Remington Sportsman 58 12 ga auto




So there they are. My Internet searching couldn't find much info. Basically just trying to find out the street value or if they're just keepers. I think he's interested in selling them off but I'd like to know a fair price to tell him to ask.

He said he actually has shot them a good bit since he got them so I assume it's safe to say they function properley. Thanks.

i'll go $100 each on them if he wants it

Here's a start for the Marlin

He has decided to let the Remington go and I will be posting it for him in the classifieds. The Marlin were going to hold out on for more info first.

According to my Standard Catalog of Firearms 2009 the Marlin Mod. 49 is worth 450 in excellent condition VG 400 G 350 F 225 and P 125. Just thought that would help.

Let's call this one poor for sure. I'll see if he wants me to list it for $125. I went to his house today to see it in person and he actually had it loaded next to his bed.....haha

He said "what?".....I just thought that was funny.

He said he wanted me to try and sell the marlin for him. He wants a hundred for it. Ill post it in the classifieds.

When my gunsmith got that Marlin I asked him to look it over and asked him what he thought about shooting it. He looked it over pretty good then stepped outside the "office" and fired off a round. He seems to think nothing of firing it off.

Who are you using for a gunsmith?

Guy out in Saucier/McHenry area. Old biker/good ole boy. Knows his stuff when it comes to guns.

he mess'ed up the marlin with the rivits.100$ just cause it would look good with my marlin No,24

I am fixing that, no worries.
