Default Price on VHE Restored gun?

I am looking at a 100% restored 30 inch barrel 12 bore VHE. The restoration is first rate. It is stocked english straight grip in upgarde wood. Work is first rate as is the checering back to original VH pattern. Case colored and rust lued barrels. Again firts class job.All action and stock screws are timed and perfect. Bored excellent barreks excellent. It looks like brand new gun. Chokes and chambers untouched. I do not know who the restorer is at this time. What say you on price range for this gun?

Getting the colors of the finishes, on stock, frame and barrels, is the key to a proper restoration. Post some pictures if you can.

Typically a fully restored gun that is correctly done will rate as "very good" condition in a blue book.

If the restoration is done very well and correctly, that is a reasonable price.

a re-stock and refinish will cost 3,000 or more by most of the best gunsmiths. if the work is done correctly this sounds like a deal. if not you will still have a good looking gun that will be good shooter. post some pictures there are lots of members that can help you with the quality of the work.
