    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.

    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.

    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,

    How is your daughter doing on the shoe leather express???[:D][:D] Did you give her the car back yet??? I enjoyed watching my son walk for two months when he didnt listen to me and ruined the motor in his truck. He had to walk by it everyday to catch the school bus.[:D]. There it sat with a new motor and he couldn't drive it. Man was he pissed at himself. Life lessons I guess
