I bought my first SuperposeD in early 1968 and have owned a dozen or so since in most varieties - RKLT, RKFT, STGP, including some stunning Pre-WWII and very early 1950s Grade Vs. Most have been 20 gauge, a few 28s, with a few exceptional graded 12 gauges, all Belgian guns. When the Citoris first came out I had little or no interest in them until I started seeing them at gun shows at a fraction of the price of the Belgian guns. Now I have them in 20, 28 and .410 gauge and am closing in on a 16 gauge (yes they made them but only for a few years). I truly believe they are the best value in an O/U in the under-$2500 class going for the basic models. Right now the market on 12 gauge Belgian guns is flatlined, but the smaller gauge prices are still strong, and the graded smallbores are still right up there in the mid-thousands, depending on gauge. Like the Belgian guns, the Citoris are built to last - you can wear them out, but they don't break down.
