I was present at the sale of a 24" CHE in 28 guage in 1976 to a gentleman from Kansas by a well known dealer from Maine. The gun was in an Abercrombie & Fitch case and about unfired condition.Jim had obtained the gun in a trade. He had a new Caddy and traded even up to get the gun.I heard later that the gun was sold for about double what the gentleman from Kansas had paid for it. A year or two's salary for me each time it traded hands.

Bruce ; I have read this in Baer's book ,also ,I am sure this has been proven over and over again , The Smith I mentioned had a very wore hinge pin and many other issues ,we brought it back to life so to speak ,but there is no doubt if the gun would have been solid ,it would have been an easier sale in original condition than refinished !

Whoa, Bill. Now don't try to start something. Remember we have fellows here who always have the superior opinion and whose ideas are better than anyone elses'. So I'm not biting. We can continue this conversation on the Kansas prairies.
