Bill. , thanks. I looked at one locally today. 26 inch barrels, all original, near mint. Came out of an elderly ladies closet where its been sitting for over many years. Barely been shot. no mods. $3,200. I'm buying it. Can't resist these small gauge sxs's. I plan to strip the urethane finish or whatever the factory put on it and replace it with a nice oil finish. The wood on this skeeter is absolutely spectacular.

I'm with you Allen, I hate urethane finishes. They are fine on modern soulless guns, but a nice double needs an oil finish. Those Skeeter's are wonderful little shooters.

Take the original high gloss finish off and reduce my estimates by $500. I must admit that my 30" .410 skeeter has a matte finish, but I think it's factory special order, like the 30" barrels.

Pictures and specs and condition would be necessary in order to place a value on it. "Mint" could mean 'fully restored and never used since' in some folks' lexicon. .

Dean, By mint I mean there is not a mark on the gun. Barrel bluing is clean and shows no wear whatsoever. Apart from the factory finish on the wood, there are no cracks, scratches etc. Gun is tight as a drum. barrel insides are clean and bright showing nothing at all. Bluing on frame show no wear at all....as if it just left the factory. No cracks, dents. I just dont like urethane finishes per se on old doubles and prefer oil. Gun just doesnt look like it had much handling and shooting. And when I'm gone, Logan, my grandson or Campbell will inherit it,
Dean, when I pick it up, Ill send you a bunch of pictures for your critical eye and comment. You will like it, especially the beautiful wood Iver Johnson put on it. |
