Iver Johnson Skeeter 410 value question

[Bill Murphy]

Take the original high gloss finish off and reduce my estimates by $500. I must admit that my 30" .410 skeeter has a matte finish, but I think it's factory special order, like the 30" barrels.

It's not always about "collector" value. Why have a gun that you think can look better? It's ultimately the owner's decision. A very high grade gun I'd leave as is, but then I wouldn't buy it anyway. I'd want to shoot it and shoot it a lot!! Verstehen?

Hate to say it but I agree with Murphy , nice factory original beats refinished 24/7 in my book
