Value of Topper 3030/20ga combo
« on: October 14, 2008, 02:20:07 PM »
I just saw in a local auction this unfired Topper with two barrels 3030 and 20ga, SN starts with BA. What would it be worth if I can get to this auction?

thanks,

Joe

I'd search the NEF/H&R Classifieds for prices, use Topper and/or 158 and select just the classified forum.  ;)

One more question-

BAxxxxx ser. number = 1941 or 1986
I don't quite understand the designation in the FAQ.

thanks.

a serial number starting with "BA" indicates a 1941 year of manufacture.

NA = New England Firearms    1986
HA = Harrington & Richardson 1986

NB = New England Firearms    1987
HB = Harrington & Richardson 1987

Hope this helps you understand the serial number system. Best of luck....<><....:)

Andy I'm not so sure on that .What would BB be?bbb ;D I have a 157 in 22Hornet with the Mannlicher stock that starts with BB would like to think it's a beautiful 1940 something but probly is a 1987 maybe. I'll let you guys figure it out I'm heading for camp to put some blood on this 2008 45colt BC. Kurt
