Shotgun - Revelation 460?

[aspeck]

My cousin is trying to unload a couple of guns and she asked me for help in values. One of the guns she has in a side by side 12 ga. Revelation 460. It looks like a Stevens 5151, but there is no manufacturer or location anywhere on the gun, just a serial no. (B283974), Revelation 460, and Patent Pending. Any heads up about the gun, who made it, value, etc. It is in fair - good condition right now, but after I give it a good cleaning it will probably be closer to good.

I can't find anything in my books or online. Help!
Thanks.

Private branded for Western Auto chain.
Made by Springfield and originally their Model 511.

Thanks ... that helps ... still not finding much on the values of the Springfield 511, or Stevens or Savage 511 for that matter. I did learn it was a little cheaper than the 311, so at least that gives me a ball park.

Any other insight or help is appreciated.

Value is easy....what you can get for it....
Condition is obviously key, and is so subjective that it is impossible to even guess from a distance.
I believe that the "house brands" were a lot more plentiful and thus correspondingly less valuable.
Stevens and Savage, I think, were corporate extensions but in the same "Family".
