B Dudley is right on. Plus crude gold inlays, and the buttstock is also cracked in the wrist. It's only worth what someone's willing to pay. You'd be lucky to get the bottom end of what your friend thinks it's worth.

The gun is worth nowhere near that range that he thinks.

Jason , If you are contemplating this gun and the seller is a friend if it were me I would get on Gun Broker and find a half dozen or so similar condition guns for sale and a few in the price range where he thinks he should be and show him the Seven and Eight hundred Dollar guns that are getting a bid or two and the Guns in this condition with higher starting prices and are having no bids !!!!! Condition is everything and as Brian said this gun is not in the range of what your friend has been told ! Just My Opinion !!!!

He has no idea what it’s worth just what he was told. He has a history of not getting the best end of gun trades so I wanted to check and see what it is, before he says he traded it for something worth half of its value. Does the Atlas barrel add anything as far as making it a shooter? I know that’s how his dad used it. I thought I might be interested before I saw it now I think I’ll pass.

The Atlas barrels are the most valuable part of this gun.

We can't confirm those are Atlas barrels. Most were marked E.S.C. Vickers

Another Atlas barrel

On a good day the GH if the barrels look decent inside and are still 30” I might say $600ish the fluid steel barrels would add nothing for me , however for others they might add some value . The gold wash on the bottom I’d be intrested in having removed so that’s another negative . Hate to sound overly negative but that’s my view .

I think if the original and the replacement barrels are choked differently, it may be of more interest as a shooter.

Austin I think if I had obtained that gun cheap I’d send the fluid steel barrels to Briley for screw ins .

Do you have any idea what Briley screw in choke installation costs these days? I live with my tight chokes.
