    Traci -

    See this link. <http://www.{elsewhere}/977004339/Guns/Shotguns/Double-Shotguns/English/WEBLEY_SCOTT_12_BORE_SPORTING_GUN.htm&gt; (Edited... Guess I can't link to "Firearms" America - sometimes called "Guns" because of the nanny software , so I guess you'll never be able to use the reference.[}:)])

    I believe it more or less confirms my opinion on your W&S double and will give you a fair idea of the price the piece will go for. (Remember that the 16ga is somewhat of a demerit.)

    The A&F stamping will not detract from overall value in a good shooter... Which this is. It, however, does make the piece a gun made for the trade. Not a bad thing since this is not a collector's item.

    One previous post is somewhat misleading I believe. A refinish or reblue is of little importance as far as the value of a good shooter. While value might increase slightly, the cost will always exceed the increase in total value. Only had the gun been returned to W&S for a total rebuild (documented) would the value really take a jump. Again, I suspect the cost would exceed value.

    And so my opinion stands. The gun will go for a low of $600 and a high of $900. Obviously I hope that you'll find someone in the right place at the right time and that you'll do better.

    Still, as a disinterested party I must be realistic. I know this is a good shotgun, but I also know there are other good shotguns out there. This piece has straight-grained wood, shows use, and is not overly endowed with the things that add a lot of value to a shotgun. In other words a fine field gun, but nothing more.

    Please don't be offended by my critique as I hope that I'm much too much a pessimist. I love fine shotguns and know a bit about them. As I said in a previous post, while your W&S is a good shotgun I'd pay more for a nice L.C. Smith, a good Baker, or an Ithaca double... Not their cheaper Lefever line. Same with L.C. Smith. I'd buy the Smith but avoid the Hunter even though I know it to be a good gun.

    I wish you the best in your venture. Double shotguns are a science unto themelves. There are wallhangers, shooters, and true collectibles. Within each category the values go to the extreme both high and low.

    Look at the Winchester 21. At any distance it's hard to distinguish from a Stevens or Hunter boxlock, BUT WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Go figure.

    Best,

    You should have listened to me when I asked you to check the trigger on that Bushmaster rifle. You may not even remember me asking you, but I gambled and was right. It has the High End 200.00 Bushmaster target trigger installed. I bought it just for the trigger[:D]
    Good Deal!!! Thanks[8D]

    Was going over a post from a couple days ago and didn't know a ? was asked.

    It went fine, but she was with a school group. FFA kids aren't known to be too out of hand.

    They had a good time at the concert. Their FFA teacher was with them.

    Not to brag, but Cheyenne is a good girl. Most are when the right amount of time is spent with them.

    We just have to trust that they will do the right thing at some point 'cause we can't be with them 24/7.

    Good luck with yours, I'm sure she'll do just fine.

    Kasey: Regarding your 1977 Colt Cavalry set http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=231757236

    You might be interested to know that the "MSH" initials on the stocks of "MSH" are those of Martin S. Huber. Marty was the Colt Historian Emeritus. Colt used his initials in honor of his 57 years of service.

    Kasey - Please review this thread: http://forums.gunbroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=523385

    New York does NOT recognize C&R licenses for handgun purchases! I know you're trying to be helpful and C&R's are acceptable in most states but NOT in NY!

    To receive or possess an unregistered handgun is a FELONY and we certainly don't need Mayor Bloomberg going on TV saying someone purchased an "illegal handgun" through Gunbroker!
