A question of value
A friend picked up a GH made around 1915 the other day then called to get my opinion. He doesn't know a lot about shotguns but called me after the fact to see what I thought. When I looked a the gun it looked in pretty good shape overall, correct butt plate, little bit of color on the action and in hidden places. Top lever centered, Damascus barrels, pretty good bores. First thing I noticed was some screw in the top rib, the screw slot was parallel with the rib. Then I noticed the rib matting ran right off the end of the rib, no barrel keels and the barrels measured exactly 28-1/4". There was still .010 choke in both barrels. So I told him he had a shooter at best, at worst it is a parts gun but a good one. What would you pay for a shooter like that?
