Most of the positive press for the Spanish makers is in the relm of BEST guns, quality copies of English best! I do not know ware this model ranks in quality. Is this one of the ones that are considered a best gun? Its add states mnf 2005 It will be of good quality steel. This gun looks to be of hi quality workmanship...all engraving is clear and crisp and properly executed. I like it.....As the buyer you should research new cost of same or like model. (All but the BEST guns) will sell well below current replacement cost in most cases....this is good for the buyer. The dealer is making money at the price asked so the owner is getting considerable less or has sold it for less to the dealer. In the short run you may loose a little or about 1/5 , the 20% of fair dealer mark up. This seller knows the market. In a week market or down turn you may not be able to sell it as the pool of buyers is less for 410 gauge guns of any make. Like the crash of 2008 losses were across the board of most SXS guns. I had bought several Parker reproductions prior to 2008 and they still have not fully recovered the values they had peaked at if I wanted to sell them today. Im sure it would be at some loss to me but not on all..??? The good news is they are close to the pre 08 prices so long as things don't go bad again anytime soon. I would recommend you read Spanish Best before buying a Spanish gun. Its a world of wealth if you plan to buy a Spanish gun. Good luck on your 410 quest.....(-: SXS ohio
