I have a 12 ga. Double P grade w/twist steel. Serial # puts it at 1901. Barrels measure 34 inches. Both barrels are pristine inside. The serial numbers on all the parts match, gun is in original condition,no repairs have been done. The action on this gun is extremely tight! I recently had an online collector value it at " less than $1700 " of course I'm skeptical and would like someone with more knowledge of this gun give me a second opinion. I can't find an exact match in any books, The closest I found is a PH (the H is for hammers?) grade with fluid steel barrels.
Any help would be much appreciated!
I'm having trouble uploading pics, I'll do the best I can

Well, I am sure others will chime in, but I bet a lot of us would throw $1700 your way for that gun--it looks to be in nice shape, and with 34" barrels, that really makes it nice. More pictures would be nice, and I would get a factory letter on that one. Congrats on a nice gun.
Also, as I look closer, it appears to be a 1 frame gun--and w/ 34" tubes-wow!!

Ok I put up some more pics. Let me know if you want to see something I don't have up.
Thanks
The barrels have great pattern still showing and a fishtail top lever. Too bad the grip cap is broke, but that could be easily replaced. I am sure you will get a lot more feedback on this gun by tomorrow

I will make a guess on value (hard to do without the gun in hand). I believe your gun is a Grade 0 in that it has PT Plain Twist barrels. Only 6 were made with 34" barrels and #1 frame is unusual. Lack of original condition makes it a shooter but the features make it a sought after gun for sporting clays and vintage shoots in my opinion. I would guess $2000. Craig

CL.....Like I said in my original post the closest thing I found in the bluebook of gun values is a PH grade with fluid steel which was valued at $5000. Is fluid steel more desirable than twist? That's my dilemma
Thanks for the input
Yes, because so few PH guns were made with fluid steel barrels.
