Thank you Bert for your help!  Can you give me a ball park price range based on the pictures?
  

$4,500 – $6,000
  

Thank you, I am looking forward to buying it now. Any good books you could recommend would be appreciated. Have a good day!

 Nodrog, does the trench gun have a plugged front bead sight on the barrel?
  

I believe it does, I will not be able to see until Tuesday or Wednesday. I will let you know if it doesn’t.

Thank you for the photo.   I assumed with that serial number (E955494) it would have the plugged front sight hole.
