Angelo Bee Egraving

I have a question concerning the value of a 1973 - 12GA Pedersen Model 1000 Grade 1 Field gun.

I believe that this gun was engraved by Angelo Bee, I believe his ABEE and a bee symbol are stamped into the receiver.


(seen in the lower right corner of the receiver)

I have sent close up photos to Angelo Bee's web-site to find out if he can authenticate that this is his work.

If this is his work, what do you think that would translate to regarding increase in value from a non - "Angelo Bee engraved" shotgun??

Any input would be appreciated...

  His (Mr. Bee's) records will show if he worked on it if you give him the SerNo. Eliminates any doubt.
  
  I'll leave the value question to others*, as I don't know if Angelo Bee's work is a 'hot item' to collectors. Best, Joe
  
  
  
  *If A.B. is still in the business of engraving, the value will most likely be the cost of his work, plus the cost of the host firearm prior to engraving.
