I suggest you find a copy of Double Gun Journal and inquire of some of the sellers of high grade double guns that advertise in it. They are probably the best source of value info, especially if you are talking about $30,000. If necessary, send a copy of the photos to some of those advertisers.

Very nice looking gun. The engraving is wonderful and looks quite contemporary.

I can't say for sure as to the year. If I did it would only be a estimate from the current owner. What I do know is this gun was built for a gentleman who has passed and is part of an estate. I did see other photos of the 405 (not quite as ornate) as a live bird gun in a Beretta international book. I believe they told us doubleguns.com is listing this gun for sale.

They would have to be a bit clearer. I have not heard of doubleguns.com and can't find that domain name. Date of manufacture is very easy to determine on most Italian guns. Twenty grand is a bit high for such a gun, no matter how ornate or scarce.

Sorry Bill, I think he told us doublegunshop.com was where it would be listed ,my fault. As far as value I would personally agree with you, although anything can only be worth what someone is willing to pay (no matter what it is). A piece of French toast with the virgin Mary on it sold on Ebay for a staggering amount.. I wouldn't want to offend any man by giving my opinion of what I think that gun is worth. It would be my opinion and only that. I will tell ya what I think of the French toast though.

Just a little food for thought. I read a thread once about a gun that had been refinished with shelac and maybe other crude means and the possibilities of how this gun might be restored. I am willing to bet that if this gun was once owned by a man who has only memories of he and his father with little means preserving such a gun, for him it may be priceless...

I certainly don't see anything to criticize with this gun. It is a great effort. At the right price, someone will be very happy.
