I was wondering if anyone could help me out with identifying a 12 gauge double-barreled percussion shotgun. There are some marks on the underside of the barrels. The ramrod has a brass tulip front end and a worm attached to the bottom end. If anyone could help me out with identifying this gun, give me an idea of when it was made, and what you think it might be worth please PM me. Thanks as always!

Belgium export gun in 12 bore {Gauge} around 1900+ with laminated steel barrels

Page 299 of my 1902 edition of the Sears. Roebuck and Co. catalog[ue] shows one just like this for the princely sum of $10.65.
 
That's not the same gun as the one shown on page 299 in the Sears catalog. The gun in the catalog is a breech loader. The one in the OP's photos is a real percussion muzzle loader.

As a side note: Multiply the prices shown in your 1902 Sears catalog by 30 to figure out about what they would cost today.
Your $10.65 price becomes $319.50 in today's dollars.
With the price of guns being what they are today, that's still a really low price for a 12 guage double.
 
remember if the wooden ramrod has a worm on it, it is for pulling wads out of the muzzle loading shotgun barrel. a break open shotgun can have the action broken open and can have the shell's pushed back out of the breach from the muzzle end, as said cannot be done with a muzzleloader.
 
Price depends on where you are at, in my area and in that condition it would maybe sell for $400-500 as a shooter.
