A friend of mine's grandfather passed away recently and left him several shotguns. A J.C. Higgins 20ga bolt action and another that's a 20ga bolt action clip fed. These are in fairly rough condition. However, he also left him a pair of truly nice ones.
One is an Ithaca double-barrel 12ga in near mint condition and never been re-blued. On the barrel is says, "Smokeless Powder Steel". The serial number is 235613.
The other is a mint condition, Ithaca automatic Model#XL300 / SN S1319725.
The local dealers here stated the condition, but all were uncertain as to the age and value of the guns.
He is trying to sell these for his mother, and would like to know what a fair price is for them.
Is anyone familiar with these shotguns, and maybe know the age, quality and approximate value? I think Ithaca wants about $200 to research and appraise them.
Is there a website or such where this info could be found?
Thanks for any help.

I guess if I'd have thought and paid attention, I'd have seen that. Thanks! I repost there.
