Bill. , thanks. I looked at one locally today. 26 inch barrels, all original, near mint. Came out of an elderly ladies closet where its been sitting for over many years. Barely been shot. no mods. $3,200. I'm buying it. Can't resist these small gauge sxs's. I plan to strip the urethane finish or whatever the factory put on it and replace it with a nice oil finish. The wood on this skeeter is absolutely spectacular.

I'm with you Allen, I hate urethane finishes. They are fine on modern soulless guns, but a nice double needs an oil finish. Those Skeeter's are wonderful little shooters.

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
