The SC listed for sale on this site right now is priced at $2750.00, a price that may be negotiated lower. An SC in the mid threes would probably be very original and fairly high condition.

Thanks Chris and Bill — I really don’t know enough to invest in one although they are quite beautiful. Tell me, are there still folks who work on them?

They are great fun to own and shoot, and of course they don't have to be "original" or "perfect" to shoot and enjoy, but you don't want to overpay, and frankly a SBT will probably only be worth what it's worth today or less; don't look for much if any increase in market value (if that makes sense?). I've never had any major work done on mine but I have had the trigger reworked, so there are gunsmiths out there who can work on them.

Thank you, Phil — based on the info an photos of the one I have posted, and based on Bill Dudley’s input would it be safe to say the gun in question is a $2k gun or would it be less? Mechanically it is perfect, but with refinished and embellished metal and an insert on the butt stock, I have no idea what is “fair”
