My brother has my dad's
sweet 16 and is in need
of money but to proud
to take "charity".

Brother to brother in my
book is not charity ,but whatever.

The ser# Os 45310 (not sure of the the first
digit .could be 0 or o)
Overall condition is ,I'd say 75% pitting-(light)
a lot of dings in stock;28"bbl, non ribbed.
bluing decent.

I told him I would give him $600.
Should I give him more?

Thanks -Ronny

  Its probably worth more. Dependent on condition. In excellent condition much more.
  
  Search around and you will see.

  In the condition you describe, $600 is more than fair. Although since it was passed down from your Dad it is priceless.

  Thanks guys.
  I generally
  cruise the net in a situation
  like this as I had and the prices
  are all over the board.
  
  The condition of this IMHO doesn't
  warrant the 6c's but I'll give it
  to my brother to keep the 16 in the family.
  
  I'm reluctant to give him any money
  at all cause he'll buy liquid with it,
  if you get my drift
  
  I hope not but I've tried everything
  and he being a pigheaded Colege grad
  won't and I mean absolutely won't, get
  professional help.
  
  Deep down in my heart I know this is a
  going away present.

  edit: Ya know this isn't the place
  to speak of personal issues -I thought-
  but I've come to realize this forum ,prolly
  the GD forum is full of really understanding
  folks---God bless one and all

  rong, Your offer is probably more than market value, as some above have said but a year from it will make no difference if you gave $300 or $600. The difference in money will probably not change your life but letting the gun get out of the family would surely be a source of regret. From the situation you describe, I can assure you that your brother will not have that gun for long and it is better for you to have it than some pawn shop.
