If you are referring to the H&R Handy-Gun, a short barreled shot PISTOL- (no shoulder stock) these are fairly rare, and depending on condition may be worth $500-2000. HOWEVER- several models had barrels less than 18 inches, and an overall length of less than 26 inches. Under US law, these MUST have been registered with the BATFE as an "Any Other Weapon", and a $5 tax paid. If they have not already been registered, they cannot be. Penalty for possession of an unregistered AOW is a fine of $10,000, and 10 years in Federal prison. The .410 version is more common than the 28 gauge, but even those are scarce.
condition is key. from $150 to several hundred. 28 ga is a premium for all makers.

The value of a 28 gauge side by side Zabala depends on the exact year it was made and its condition. Models of this gun in excellent condition are valued between 125.00 and 200.00 as of 2014.
My rough estimate would be $950 - $1000. That seems to be what they are going for at gun shows in southern Illinois. If the gun is engraved, that would add to its value. You can purchase a new Red Label 28 gauge for $1150 from Walmart (see their website for details).

Referring to the Snake Charmer:Its a single barrel breakdown 18 1/2 in barrel - most common in the .410 cal. The stock which is unusually enlarged (made of plastic) allows you to store the barrel and the action in the stock (making it float-able in the event you drop it in the water).Note: If you can master the snapteasee slipknot it makes the snake charmer a bass' worst nightmare.Referring to the Handy Gun:The H&R Handy Gun is a very different firearm. Regulated by the ATF under the National Firearms Act (NFA), the Handy Gun is considered to fall under the Any Other Weapon (AOW) category. There were both shotgun and rifle versions of the handy gun, The rifle versions do not fall under the NFA provisions. The shotguns were smooth bore, and offered in 28 gauge and .410 gauge. Some .410 barrels had a choke, none of the 28 gauge did. The shotgun falls under the NFA provisions because of the combination of a smooth bore barrel with a very short barrel. The barrel lengths on the shotgun varies between 8 and 12 1/4 inches. The handy gun most closely resembles a large flintlock pistol, as it has a very similar looking stock. It has a handgun style grip. The stock is made of wood. Some did have a detachable shoulder stock.

That's a pretty tall order. Do you have a specific question? The bore diameter of a 28 gauge is .550 inches. A 2 3/4 inch 28 gauge is equivalent to a 3 inch 410. It is not really a popular hunting gun, but is used by many skeet shooters.
