Some A grade damascus barreled guns have sold for around that price, but it all depends on condition and provenance..
I went sporting clays shooting yesterday and shot my 20ga C Damascus. A friend shot his 12ga AH damascus that had belonged to Admiral Frank Friday Fletcher and has on the gold grip cap plate F F Fletcher, USN, Fleet Admiral. A shore bird scene with sailing ship in background is on the trigger plate, presumably off Annapolis where Adm Fletcher ( Medal of Honor awardee) was commandant. The skeleton butt plate has anchor chain. It is an outstanding and important gun from the hero from whom the Fletcher class of WWII destroyers was named. I shoot the gun well and would love to own it at a mid 20's price.
