Just surface rust but in the pictures it looked horrible... well, in hand it looked horrible too, but I could see that most of it was just "blossoms" of rust and would be easily cleaned. What a gun!!!

Sure

Now you say that.

Still a few unsold floating around the market.

I think Dean is right about this one cleaning up, it should be nice, but won't be pristine again

A couple have sold for unrealistic prices

Some are looking for the next deep pocket buyer

Some are out there at what may well be the new normal

Only time will tell -new plateau or the foot of the mountain

My predictions is there were a few hard core duck hunters with a bit of loose change as they say who had to have one. Those few decided their loose change was bigger then the other guys loose change. Once those few are satisfied, normalcy will return to the market. Those guns should be in the 5 to 6K market in decent condition. Also, you don't find many Super Collectors that want more then one or so (I admit there are certainly exceptions).

I thought I had already posted these 'after' pictures here that the new owner posted on another board. He says it cleaned up nicely in just a couple of hours.

If you don't remember what it looked like with the rust all over it I can post those pics too.

This gun had mint bores and was probably never fired much. If it didn't have the rust issues the sky would have been the limit on the value. I think they have only about 40 straight grip supers. There are other's out there that have been restocked, but this one is 100 percent original. Even has the leather covered Silvers' pad.
