Cool !
Back right before Xmas I saw a nice reblued recased Parker VH 20 gauge go for $4500 . Now maybe the gun had sentimental value to that guy . But I am thiking a decent un F'd with 20 gauge VH outta easily be worth $2300 .
The price for the Remington 32 seems a tad high to me . I recently (well in the last 2 years) sold a pair of skeet guns for $800 a piece . Now of course both had been reblued and refinished .
Never owned a Winchester 1886 but I did own 4 of the original Marlin 1895 in 33 WCF , 38-56 , 40-65 and 40-82 . The 33 was made about 1912 and the other 3 were all made in 1896 or 1897 . Actually killed a deer each with my own home cast bullets using the 38-56 and 40-65 .
We had a really nice extra light takedown half octagon pistol gripped checkered Winchester 1886 of 1900 manufacture in the 45-70 cartridge come in the shop for repair a couple months back . I tried my best to buy that rifle but the owner wasn't overly enthused with the idea . Gun needed a little TLC even after my gunsmith buddy got it functioning again . But it was certainly a diamond in the rough worth messing with if I could've gotten it for less then $2500 !
