I think close to 5K. As the old saying goes, there aren't many out there and try to find another one.

In that configuration but with a beavertail, depending on the figure of the wood, as much as $6+k… but that’s just me.

Dean, that is a beautiful gun with great wood. I've owned many of these guns over the years and to find the 28GA with double triggers, straight grip and Q1 and Q2 chokes is super hard in my opinion. With a beavertail they are even more rare. I've only seen 4 in that configuration that I can remember. Maybe there are tons of them hidden away but I certainly haven't seen them for sale. I'll keep this one and will try to find a beavertail for it.

Gerry, I was incredibly lucky to have owned this gun while at the same time Kathy had a 28 gauge Repro with Q1 & Q2 chokes and a beavertail which fit mine perfectly allowing me to use the “perfect” grouse & woodcock gun.

Kathy’s is a pistol grip, double-rtigger gun which I still have. I’m keeping it for my grandchildren.

Dean, the gun you pictured doesn't seem to have any serious wear on the case colors. My $4000 estimate assumed serious loss of color. All the desired features and minty condition add thousands to the value of a Repro.

Single trigger, 26" barrels, deduct $3000 from a double trigger, 28" gun. Rarity and user popularity makes for big bucks in the resale market. Rarity is probably not a factor here, because probably as many 28" guns were made as 26" guns, but the 28" guns are buried in collections, because, you guessed it, user popularity causes 28" guns to be hidden away. They will come out, one at a time, for the next fifty years, but they will be expensive. I think I got this right.

I recently had Dan Cullity and Son open up the chokes on my 20 ga Repro with 28 inch barrels. Shoots like a dream on skeet now. Opened the chokes to mod and IC. Love the way this Repro handles.
