It has been refinished because the wood finish, checkering and case colors have all been re-done. Barrels too by the look of it.
I would call value likely more in the $2k to $2.5k range.

I agree with Brian on condition but think $2K tops.

If anyone follows the album link there is a rather complete and informative set of photos of this DH. Hes done a really good job of photography.
I'm not a restoration aficionado but I do think the case colors are nice much better than a lot of redone guns seen. The wood I like. Bbls should be redone to B&W they look muddy or hidden to me. Short barrels and odd length barrels don't turn me off if original from the factory. LOP is shortish but would be OK for cold weather shooting. DAH is a problem. Value? Does anyone remember a comparable gun offered here for less than $3K? At $2K I don't think it would as as long as a hot cup of coffee here on this site. Erick |

Nice Gun. I'd bet there are a lot of guys who would do better than 2k. I see it is just a few hundred numbers from the one in my avatar picture to the left (my great grandfathers).
Incidentally it's not too hard to learn to shoot high drop stocks. A case of shells (the best instructor ever) and a skeet range usually does the trick. |

Yeah....let's not forget it is a D grade and refinished or not it is in nice enough shape. $2K? Gone in 10 minutes.
I think the colors look, as noted, way better than on a lot of other refinished guns. Yes, the barrels have lost some pattern but that's no big deal and cheap to fix if desired. |

I have bad news for you, those barrels have been cut from 28". It does not take a genius to create the smooth wedge at the muzzle on the top rib. A ballpeen hammer, a half round file, and an engraving tool and I can duplicate your gun for you, but will not. When the barrels don't touch at the muzzle check the book or pass on the gun. The book says 28" and therefore I would pass on your gun for $1500.

Sorry I miss read the serial number off the fore end as 148932 instead of 146932 and the barrels do not appear to touch in the picture you provided. Again, I'm sorry for my error and I would agree the price range at $2500-$3000 retail. Craig

Just an obsevation : if the letter belongs with that gun it sure looks like it reads 26.
