You asked in my bad news thread": "Just wondering....did you see any other signs that high blood pressure was working so hard on you? I just ask because of the major stress I seem to feel sometimes. My ears have started turning red and heating up beyond anything "normal." My kids use it as an indicator on when to leave me alone these days."
No. One day I noticed I was having more trouble than usual focusing in on the newspaper and tried my reading glasses. Couldn't focus good with those either. I normally only used them for the fine printing in a phone book or the local buy-sell-trade guide. So I figured that my poor old tired eyes finally needed rechecking and new glasses. It had been 10 to 12 years since I had had them checked. So I set up an appointment with the local eye doc and that was the result.
It did not seem to be stress related at all. The local eye doctor told me it was similiar to a stroke in that the high blood pressure picked a weak walled vein and just blew a hole in it. Any questions on the situation feel free to email me.
My ears have always turned red and a white upside down V appears in the middle of my forehead when I get really mad. Thats when anyone who knows me knows enough to quietly sneak away before I blow a gasket.0 -

See this link. <http://www.{elsewhere}/977004339/Guns/Shotguns/Double-Shotguns/English/WEBLEY_SCOTT_12_BORE_SPORTING_GUN.htm> (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.

Did you ship my guns Monday? Also when are you going to list some more scopes? David 0 -
Do you ever get weird requests or questions from customers? Last year I sold one of the four barreled .357 mag pistols on the auction side. I had a dude from London UK send half a dozen emails wanting to buy the gun even after me explaining I would not ship the gun to England. He wanted to know if he could buy the gun and me keep it for him so he could visit it here. Have you had any guns come in loaded? We have. The customer happened to be at the shop when I opened the package. It was a "new" 22 auto rifle which had clearly been fired quite a bit. When I checked the chamber a round ejected and several more were in the mag. We had a doctor move to NC from NY and had twenty guns including twelve handguns shipped to us. When he came in to pick them up he could not understand whe he needed ID and permits to pick up his guns. Kept saying he was a doctor from NY. like that was some kind of exemption. It took almost a year before he finally picked up all of his stuff. But you have some doozies too. 0 -
Any updates on your vehicle situation? (others please refrain from what I would do comments and how she's handling is wrong comments. Thank you) 0 -
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.0 -
