There are 'Belgian barrels', and then there are Francotte, or Louis Christofe' barrels. Would you walk right by a grade 5 or 6, with high grade barrels made by someone other than Parker. I think I'd want to know a lot more before I so casually assumed it was worth "$500".

Edgar, If you want the Incorrectly finished and restocked V grade 12g with aftermarket barrels for more than that, I am sure the OP may give you the owners number so that you can buy it from him.
True I did not see photos of the gun or know more than the OP described, but what he described is all I needed to know to make my assessment of the situation based on the information provided to me. As we all know, opinions on value ARE subjective and can vary. But... take into consideration that today there are a LOT of unmolested and all original VH grade, shooter quality, guns that are not selling for more than $1,000. So...
Again... MY opinion. so it does not matter all that much in the grand scheme of things.
