Before even mentioning a gun for sale on this forum you MUST be a paid up PGCA Member.

Very interesting gun. It is hard, if not impossible, to judge value by photos on the internet alone. There are a bunch of PGCA members in the Massachusetts, New England area who would help you. If you have some documentation to go along with the gun including old photos and the like, it should increase the value too

Who would have thought the 22 inch barrels were original? Nice gun.

Particularly nice gun, despite the evidence of the 20ga barrels being cut. I would argue that the documented length of the 28ga barrels is a large bonus.
Interesting that the butt plate is from the Remington period. I would caution you to get more than one appraisal before setting a price to sell your gun. |

I would ask a high price and wait for the counter offers to come in. I think it was worth more three years ago when you started this thread. The double gun market is pretty soft to say the least, definitely a buyers market. It’s only worth what the next buyer is willing to pay for it.

Yes some other members think the gun has been restocked but I don't know when, since my grandfather passed I know almost nothing about the gun's history other than I used it to shoot trap maybe ten years ago.
We are not in a huge rush to sell so we will definitely do our research and get multiple opinions. Besides this forum where are good places to get such appraisals, particularly in the New England area? |
