Thank you ALL for your helpful posts and insights!

Sorry I haven't been back to the site for a couple days since I first posted.
Have been tied up making funeral arrangements for my Dad.
I'm "technologically challenged" but do have a bunch of pictures and
more info I could post if I can figure out how to do it.

Yes, my Dad was David Michael Duffey, very well-know author on the
outdoors and Hunting Dogs. If interested you can find his obituary and more
info. online at: http://www.newcomergreenbay.com/ OR

THANKS AGAIN!

Will see what I can find about posting pictures and hopefully have some up soon?

I just posted pictures of our 20GA 3 barrel set in my album.
Assume those of you who are interested will know how and
be able to access them?

Thanks again for your help in trying to determine "value!"

Mike,
I would like to extend to you and your family, my deepest sympathy. Prayers going out to you and all good friends of your father. God bless,

Wow, Mike, what an obituary. We should all read it. Tell us to what extent you enjoy the outdoor life.

Bill Murphy · 01-31-2014, 11:52 AM

OK, here goes with the value. 20 gauge one barrel guns, less than $4000. 20 gauge two barrel sets, under $6000. The assumption should be that the third barrel set and the rarity factor would add another $2000 or more to the value. Dave Duffey's gun, the wonderful three barrel Emmebi case and cover, $7500 to $8500. Of course, this is just my opinion.

Ditto, seems about right to me.

Michael, my deepest condolences goes out to you and your family at your father's passing.

I had met your father a few times through a mutual acquaintance, Stub Brown of New London. Your dad personally inscribed his book Bird Hunting Tactics for me at one of those meetings. This book provided great inspiration as I was soaking in the ropes of the upland shooting life. I'm quite sure the writings of your dad, with his easy-going easy-to-read writing style, provided inspiration to legions of others as well. Another encounter I had with your father was at the Falling Wing Game Farm outside of Hortonville where he was asked to judge a local field trial, he chose my young English Springer Duke to win the trial, which of course I'll never forget.

Warmest Personal Regards,
Greg Baehman

IGNORE THIS POST IF IT'S STILL UP!

SORRY ABOUT THIS POST!! FOUND THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION AFTER POSTING AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO DELETE?? IF A MODERATOR CAN, PLEASE DELETE! THANKS!

ALSO POSTED A "QUICK REPLY" to a question someone asked about - to what extent I enjoy the outdoors. Not sure how that works or if my reply not posted with the question will make any sense?? Thanks for putting up / having patience with a "newbie."

Mike Duffey · 02-02-2014, 02:28 PM

I LIVE for the outdoors! Have been an avid bird and big game hunter all my life. Have done some professional dog training and guiding, and even a little writing years ago. I'm 63 and plan to ENJOY THE OUTDOORS as long as I can. It's been a little tough in Wisconsin this winter!... but my red face will attest to the fact I still get out and enjoy it.
Thanks. :-) md
