Had a chance to examine this A-5 that is part of an estate. Could not find an exact match in my 1999 Blue book. It has a "St. Louis, Mo." marked barrel; is serial no. G 82,XXX; has the round knob stock; I would say 80 - 87% (mostly freckling in bluing and one wear spot under the barrel where it had rested in a horizontal gun rack). It is roll-marked as a "lightweight twelve" on the offside receiver panel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Forgot to add. The stock is in 90% condition with just a few scratches of the surface finish. There is no barrel rib but it has 'wavvy-lines' rolled into the sight plane.

  A shooter only. $350.00 - $400.00 hereabouts in the northeast.

  Just to give you an idea of regional differences in values--if it has a short (26-28") barrel and modified or I/C choke, in Va. it would bring $450-$600.

  Shooter only.
  1957 mfg. per s/n.
  Wavvy lines on bbl is matte ribbing.
  In MO, $350 - $500 if original. (**)Mod,(**-)IC,(***)Cylinder,(**$)Skeet helps value.
  If stock cut with pad subtract $75+.

  Cylinder or skeet chokes add slightly to the value?
