Sam-

You should update your profile, noting your location.
Where you are on this planet has something to do with market value of a double rifle.

Also, you're going to need to give a lot more information on this rifle in order to get even a ballpark figure on it's value.

Tell us what action type it is, if it's a SxS or an O/U how many triggers, if it has ejectors, what kind of sights, what condition it's in, how the bores are, how the wood is...

Then it's still possible that the thing's damaged and not evident from a photo or a casual look-over.

Post some photos though!
I'd like to see the Gaucher you speak of...

Hi Sam,

Gaucher is an entry level SxS French double rifle, on the same level as Chapuis and Merkel. I've not seen any here in the US, but in Europe they run at about the same price as those two. Like Chapuis they have several different grades, the "Ouverture" was the basic model, and then the others had nicer wood, sideplates, engraving, etc. If memory serves me correctly they are a more traditional action with a single underhook, rather than one with multiple underhooks like the Chapuis or Demas.

They make a nice little product. I visited their factory back in 2001 before the merged with Bretton, to become Bretton-Gaucher. They people were very helpful and let me handle lots of rifles. They also came out with a rather controversal, but interesting O.U double rifle called the Couger back 1998 or so. It was an interesting "modern" design for an express rifle and either people loved it or hated it (like most of the "modern" ones).

I've several friends over the pond with them in 8mm and 9.3 who use them on boar and roe deer, and are quite happy with them.
