A DHE 20 would first need to be run over, twice, by a 20 car train before it was worth $2500. Julia's has sold many 20ga. DHE guns in the past couple years, between $8k range to over $17,000. Maybe I should sell all of mine and buy a pontoon boat.

I totally agree Edgar...............

Edgar, the figures you were asking about would be the charges for getting the collection (or individual guns) to the auction house. I am waiting for someone to link the thread about one of our member's experience in getting his guns back after not being sold. I won't mention his name.

I'm familiar with George's DHE, I bid on that gun too. It's a gorgeous DHE, 30", straight stock with a long LOP and checkered butt. It's a cool job for sure, I would guess it'll bring a premium at the right auction.
