Collectors come in all forms and in some circles the most highly sought after guns which bring the highest prices are the ones in the highest original condition. Like I stated before--These are only a virgin once!

Out of curiosity: What do you think a repro like this one in its NIB condition might be worth in another thirty years, if it's kept pristine? I can assure you it would be much less if it had been used hard in that time frame!
I agree with you 100%. I am only being a bit facetious -- maybe a lot!

I would love to keep my double trigger Repros in unfired condition, but they are very tempting (to shoot). I took a double trigger 28 two barrel set for a round of skeet when it was new. At the end of the round, I could tell it had been shot. The finish on the receiver had faded on the corners. I give up.
