Interesting "C" on Gunbroker

[Bruce Day]

Here's something close. A documented DHE 20ga/24". Barrels reblacked, stock top coat hand rubbed in. I know its a D and a 20, not a C 28 but it was made for 3/4oz at 2 drams , wt is 5lbs 11oz, so not much functional difference between this and a 28. It is a one of a kind in a couple ways. It's kinda restored but only lightly, so I hope that doesn't devalue the gun. Maybe I should have sent it off for the full treatment.

SO..... since the C 28 is worth a minimum of $52,000, this would be a steal at only $45,000. I'd even throw in an unframed Muderlak squirrel poster as a deal sweetener. It is one of only a hundred he had left.

Thanks, Austin. I didn't scroll down far enough to see the letter. Wow, the cheekpiece is documented. Maybe for another five or six grand, this gun could be properly restored.

I did the same thing Bill and didn't scroll down to see that the cheekpiece was factory...

Some of you are posting comments that imply that the gunbroker gun is a 28 gauge. It is a 20 gauge. The Parker Brothers records post WW1 are full of Abercrombie and Fitch 24" guns, many of them 20 and 28 gauge. If research projects in the PGCA order book copies were allowed, a comparison between the Parker records and the A&F records would result in some very interesting information.
