SA?
|
My knowledge of single-barrel trap guns is sketchy at best, but after talking with an avid collector at a sporting collectables show yesterday, I'm intrigued by them. So, I saw this gun on another site...is this as special a gun as the price suggests? I'm anxious to read the expertise from our members as they chime in on this one.

I never give opinions since I feel as though I have not been around the barn enough but my thought on this gun is that it was a SB not in the book and when restored it was re-stamped to make it look like an SA. It is typical SB engraving lacking full coverage. I say this since I have an identical SB to this gun, it letters as an SB, it is a Del Grego restoration and it to has the water table re-stamped to A and 6.

Agreed on the stamping.
|
If this gun was upgraded, it is unlikely that it started as an SB. More likely started as an SC. Maybe these questions resulted in the $3400 price paid on Julia's leftover list. I think it's a great gun and would gladly pay $3400 for it.

They are present, the gun is just like this.
|
Brian, if that's an A, it's a nice one. Tell us about it.
|
Bill it is not an A, it is a B just like the gun pictured on Trapshooter for sale. It was restamped to grade A-6 just as the gun on Trapshooter by Del Grego at some point in time when it was restored. Mine letters as a B with non full coverage floral engraving just like the Trapshooter gun. The Trapshooter gun does not letter.
|
Let's hear more about these A Grades that are suspect. What trapshooter gun does not letter? If a gun does not letter, how can anyone say that it is one grade or another?

Here is a documented SA for comparison.
