the allen firm used the tradename allen and wheelock from 1856-1865 so your shotgun was proably made between those years ,,Fladermans guide to antique firearms list 1 model in single shot shotgun but the markings are different but made in the same time frame so it's proably as close as we can get,,in good condition i'd say 500 to around 1000 if extra nice and useable,,
