Default Does “antique” status matter?

You ask an interesting question Anne - interesting because I don’t think I’ve ever seen the aspect of “antique” status as a feature that mattered.

Depending on the condition of the specific gun, I’m only hoping that things are at least as valuable (and not less) in 4 or 5 years from now. I’m talking about the usual, run-of-the-mill guns we refer to as shooters and not the rare or the high-end condition examples that attract pure collector attention.

Restated, I expect it’ll sell today for about the same as it will sell in 4 years from now. What matters is condition and configuration.

Feel free to put up some pictures for us to comment on the condition and the configuration.

Let me close with what is intended to be a gentle explanation of etiquette around here on this discussion board: If you want to sell it here, then, you will also want to upgrade from forum associate to full member status.

Thank you John,
As a new member I appreciate the advice. I would like to post a few photos for an expert opinion of what you refer to as it configuration? Posting photos will be challenging for me.

Thank you. We need a serial number which may help us get more information. The gun is a V grade, or zero grade gun. The gun has been cleaned up, which does not help its value.

Thank you for your reply. I looked up the serial number on your website and it was made in 1927. The barrel is 28" but I don't understand what do you mean by "cleaned up""?
Hoping to hear back.
Anne
