What's this worth?

garand101
I got this as a present and it looks extremely nice silver inlay 20 gauge Beretta Side by side shotgun. Does anyone know what somthing like this is worth? It's from the 60's or ealry 70's What's written on the gun.

Serial number is 62793
Bottom of gun is etched Mononbloc Beretta.
The barrels have Alloy Chromium Electric Steel Special Type Ausonia written on them. On the bottom of the Barrelse it says Choke PB Bertta 62793 serial number again.
On the side or the left barrel it says PIETRO BERETTA-GARDONER V.T.
Made in Italy

Thanks in advance.

    Check the auction side for 29s currently for sale and for those recently sold. I think you might be a little high estimating condition at 98% as it appears there is some barrel wear and the blue may be thinning some. My SWAG is $500-$550.

    Closer to 95% from the pic and agreed on prior est.

    Why does the cylinder have a reddish cast? Has it been reblued? Having the original rear sight will add to overall value.

    The plum might also be caused by bad lighting.
    Incandescent lighting is orange/red within it's color temperature range. Take a Blue gun with reddish lighting and you'll get purple.

    Look at the laser etching of the wording. It's still razor sharp. Smith & Wesson service doesn't laser cut on refinishing work. It's the original finish for certain.
    My guess is around $600 with the scope, and the seller provides the rear sight assembly. Otherwise, less is called for.

    Look at the laser etching of the wording. I don't see any laser etching on the cylinder???? It's still razor sharp. Smith & Wesson service doesn't laser cut on refinishing work. It's the original finish for certain. NOTHING is ever certain when it comes to firearms - I've learned that over the 50+ years I've been shooting and the many years of collecting and a few years of evaluating, buying and selling in gunshops. I still maintain that the cylinder looks different than the rest of the piece - I've seen, handled and shot dozens of S&Ws - MOST don't have this anomaly - even in bright sunlight - which is the ultimate lighting source. Check the edges of the muzzle end of the cylinder - they're a bit rounded.
    My guess is around $600 with the scope, and the seller provides the rear sight assembly. Otherwise, less is called for. I concur on the valuation, with contingency as stated.


    NICE piece.

    I paid $570 minus the rear sight, but have one. I stand by my estimate
    of 98%. It looks better than the pics show, and there is no reddish cast...most definitely not refinished.

    I also stand by your estimate of 98%. That is a very nice pre lock 29 you have there. The rear sight can be had for around $30.00, and the scope set up alone is worth $150.00-200.00. I would say that the whole rig is worth near $700.00

    Best
