  When these were first introduced back in 1968 they had a retail price of $227.50. They were nice Italian made over-unders, but it only cost about $75 more to purchase a Winchester 101 and $25 more for a Franchi or Ithaca O/U. As a result, sales were not exactly huge and the line was dropped after about 4 years. These were fine Shotguns and I suppose a new in the box example would bring around $500, but prices will drop off sharply for used examples and these is little or no collector interest.
  
  Compare this to the high demand and high prices fetched for Winchester 101's in todays market ($1000 or more for a NIB Field Model) and it is clear that the extra $75 invested way back when paid of handsomely today for the Winchester buyer.
