$2000 is not so bad if the gun is in any kind of condition. Give us the name of the store and stand back. PM me and I'll see what I can find out. No promises that I won't try to buy it. By the way, I have an order copy in my files for a VH 12 with 22" barrels, ordered at six pounds even.

Who ordered these things? Cops? Gangsters?

What kind of condition is it in?...original?...refinished?...damaged/rusted?
Who, according to the letter, ordered it?
All of those play into the value of the gun.

Sorry for the delay, the gun is at Pineo's True Value in Machias, ME. The owner is Steve Pineo and he has possession of the gun, great guy to talk with if anyone was interested.

Must have been a phase :cool:
