What's a really nice 12ga Sterlingworth pin gun worth? Have not seen many pin guns.

I got mine for about the same price as a high condition Sterly.

FWIW, I bought a ejector pin gun that will require a restock for less then $800 recently. I considered that a pretty good buy. I sold an all original Pin Gun marked "Sterlingworth Co" a couple of years ago at the NE SXS for I think $1,400 that had had the stock refinished and the checkering recut. What is amazing about the early pin gun is how polished and clean the insides are. Can't believe the handwork that went into them as compared to a later Sterlingworth.

They are not rare. About 12000 of them made.
