Some years ago I saw a 20 gauge toplever with twist barrels at a gun show in Lexington, Kentucky. He wanted $3,000 for it and it was in rough shape. This prompted me to purchase a 20 gauge Parker with "Steel" barrels for $1,500. The gun had been monoblocked by LeFever and was in very good restored condition except for being a litle loose and having a cracked stock (the stock had been cut and glued to take the drop out of it). Some years later the "Book" came out and I discovered that my 20 gauge had started life as a 16 gauge. So my gun does not count....
