Two sealed boxes of Arrow eights came in the trunk case of my bar in wood Westley Richards. I bought that gun about 1971 from the Sportsman in Bethesda, Maryland. The price was $635.00. Minty eight bores were not so collectable back then. I advertised the shells for sale in the Shotgun News for $250 a box and accepted $450 for the two boxes from a midwest collector. I have no idea why I thought they were worth so much, because I knew nothing of shell values.
