The 18 gauge DHE, when it was offered to me, included a full box of the original 18 gauge live shells minus 1 and that vacancy had been filled with an unremarkable 20 gauge shell.
My opinion is that if the one shown for sale is the one missing from the box offered with the gun then it might be worth something, but I don't think that figure would approach $1,000.
I do not recall however, if the shells offered with the gun were 1 3/4" or 2 1/2" but I do think they were UMC.
