Does anyone have thoughts about the looks/value of this 12 gauge Skeeter?

Default Skeeter

Obvious gap between stock and frame would be a concern for me.

Yup, that gun has been apart, sanded, and screwed back together.

Skeet-ers were interesting guns for their day. They were made quite heavy, gauge for gauge, and meant to be fired a lot at clay pigeons. Not many companies offered heavy guns made for that purpose.

The 410 ga Skeeters averaged 6 lbs 6 oz. I just bought a 410 skeeter with ejectors and 26 inch barrels. All original and in very good condition. The lacquer finish on the buttstock is worn so I'll have it stripped and a nice oil finish put on. They have a nice hi grade of wood on these skeeters. Shot 2 rounds of skeet with it yesterday. Absolutely no discernable recoil. Fun to shoot! Its for one of my 2 grandsons

I pheasant hunted for years in southwestern Iowa with father and son team which shot Skeeter 16 and a 20 gauge. Father bought the set when him and son could start bird hunting, hope their grand children are still enjoying the set.

I think Skeet-ers , gauge for gauge, were made heavier than other guns of the period. Of course, they were made for clay shooting, not walk up hunting. I find them a real pleasure to shoot . The American Black walnut stocks are always well figured.

If it has not sold since I was at Bray's Island there will be a very clean .410 Skeeter at the Southern. I cannot remember who had it on their table at Bray's Island, but it was one of the vendors who will be at the Southern, and it appeared to be a little used one. AIR, it was priced around $4900.
