I don't know what it's provenance is, but it's condition is way too nice to touch. I don't see it going much higher than the low estimate though. I'm guessing $18K, but what do I know?

No way would I restore it or do anything to it except shoot it. If I lost my mind and did want to restore it, I would do a complete restoration as no partial refinish would enhance it in anyway, IMHO.

I used the term provenance incorrectly and Edgar's correct. The apparent limited production of this particular gun as noted in the auction page would dictate leaving it alone. It's apparently a too limited production model and still in decent shape to warrant messing with it. Only if it had major defects/damage etc. My 2 cents only.

If I had some type of mental breakdown and actually bought the gun from Julia I would do nothing to this except to use it in the way it was intended.

There wee about 100 16ga. CH guns, but only 4 with 32" tubes, so that in itself makes it rare. The C is somewhat more rare because it fell in between the D and the B with very little more coverage than the D, but 50% more expensive.
I had a nice 30" 16ga. CHE that was my dad's. I believe that was my daughter's first year of her master's degree. I believe I shall remind her of this often, very very often. |

That is one beautiful gun. I would do nothing to it except to shoot it and enjoy it for years. I can only hope to someday own a gun that nice.

Since we are playing what if, and yes I know it's not a Parker.
http://jamesdjulia.com/auctions/view...p?lot=1480-346 What about this one? I have one similar but no stock head repair. Thanks, Will |
