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.

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.0 -
Watched The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo the other night at home and they added about an additional 1/2 hour to the original edition. That last sex scene never happened in the original.
Leave it to those wacky Americans to spice up a movie.0 -

Tried to call your shop several times today. Kept getting a busy signal.
Wanted to let you know that everything is headed your way (MO and FFL) for the Crickett.
It will be Little Duds first gun that he can call his own.
May have to get another one. For Little Dud has my youngest one all excited..
They have been talking about a few hunting trips for bear, deer and coyotes.[8D]0 -
