Looks like its in really good shape. Has it been reconditioned? That might be why its was so cheap. Have you blue booked it? Not all the parkers are worth a lot of money.

Post by: high country on April 01, 2012, 09:19:07 AM: I need to get in touch with larry DelGrego as it looks to be one of his guns. the lower book value is still higher than I paid, and a delgrego restore is typically worth quite a bit. mine is flawless in metal. to have the restore done today would be in the neighborhood of 4-6k bucks.....so I feel it was a deal.

Post by: Fishnfowler on April 01, 2012, 09:51:08 AM: Congratulations, that one is a beauty. I think that is a great gun for the money, restored or not.

Post by: fethrduster on April 01, 2012, 05:39:12 PM: You absolutely stole that gun. Looks like a VH? Beautiful re-stock, nice grain through the wrist, good dimensions, great pad, checkering, re-cased and blued, the works, and a period case, for only $1095? Awesome. Well done.

Post by: Dan-o on April 01, 2012, 06:08:05 PM: That shotgun would add a whole new dimension of pleasure to pheasant hunting.

What a beautiful piece.

Post by: buckhorn2 on April 01, 2012, 06:15:09 PM: Thats a gun to hang on to it;s a beauty it;s value will just increase. My boy found a deal like that a few years ago and gave it to me it;s a browning broadway trap with a single barell with it that was won in a shoot in englund and it has a troy once of silver imbedded in the forearm I have never even shot it just look at it from time to time.

While I would always consider offers, I doubt I would sell it.

Before you alter the stock....post a pic. Classic American doubles take a huge dump in value when you change them unless done by certain refinishing companies.....its dumb, but true. Replacing the pins is no harm to value. If you have the pins out or are in eastern wa, I can build them for you.
