Ed is of course full of it. In 1926, when the A.H. Fox Gun Co.'s Sterlingworth was $36.50, and the New Ithaca Double Field Grade was $37.50, a Baker Batavia Leader was $35. Ithaca's Lefever Nitro Special was a price point lower at $27.40, while Folsom's Crescent Fire Arms Co. No. 6 Peerless was $24.50.
Those Folsom era Batavia Leaders really had some great case colors that seemed to wear better than many other guns case colors.
the colors do look remarkably good on it considering 95ish?? Years old. I hail from the peoples republic of Illinois, cant do much with a rifle there so we have many shotguns. If purchased ,it will get occasional use and sit pretty with all the others along the walls.
