Who are going to be looking for condition AND FIT. If I see a high condition 10ga at a good price by any maker and it has 2" DAC by 3 1/2" DAH at the heel I am going to pass. Not only are the hammerless 10's far fewer in number they were all made in the period of lots of drop. These days a good condition unmessed with 10 with good dimensions stands on it's own merits and will command a price close to or equal to a similiar 12. The era of NH and EH GRADE guns in such condition languishing on the dealers rack at a bargain basement price are gone.
