Interesting....a nearly identical gun (PG instead of straight; DHBP instead of pad) in at least as good if not better condition (e.g., near-perfect barrel blue and wood) was brought to our table at our local gun show recently for evaluation. Unfortunately, the individual's father had the chokes opened up from M & F to IC and IC, which devalued the gun since the barrel flats were marked with the original boring(s). The cc were perfect and the overall condition of the gun was superb. Untouched, I would guess the gun to be a $9-$11K on a dealer's table. Depending on how much the altered chokes bothered a prospective buyer, $7.5 - $8.5K. It certainly was a beautiful gun.
