    is the Premier seller on GunBroker because she is a showman. She has her market mesmerized by her showmanship. I wish I could market anything as well as she. Redneck genius, I see why she is going broke, she pays her bills. Don

    Your "Model 1878" Trapdoor Springfield is actually a Model 1873. There was no Model 1878 but the "3" is very tightly looped on the breechblock and is often mistaken for an "8". Look at it with a magnifying glass and compare it to the "8" in 1873 and you will see that it's really a "3".

    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,

    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!
