Thanks, yes it has 28" barels just like the #1 gun. 14 3/4" LOP and yes it has the diamond grip.
Barrels are in proof for 2 1/2" shells. I had the gun checked out by several people at the Southern Side By Side Shoot, William Larkin and Moore, Atkin Grant and Lang all looked at the gun. No one found any issues.

Here's two Husseys http://www.brileygunvault.com/sidebysides.aspxThey are both priced about $8500. I can't speak for their condition....but in my observations Briley isn't known for being under priced on their used guns....quite the opposite.

Important to note that both are sleeved.

So, PALUNC it's still very possible that you do not have replacement barrels at all. Check the proof marks for an idea of date of proofing and if you want send a pict of the flats to the Birmingham proof house where their historian will be happy to read the marks for you.
It would be strange but not totally out of the question for two guns in a pair to have been proofed at different places.

Usually simple to tell from photos of the barrel flats and water table. Seems to me this whole discussion hinges on the answer. It's worth substantially more with original barrels in sound condition than with sleeved or replacement barrels by someone other than the original maker.

I can e-mail pictures of my Hussey but do not know how to post pictures here. Anyway mine looks just like that one.
PALUNC Should you wish, I would be glad to assist in posting pics of your gun on this board. Seems like there is an interest in trying to help figure out if the barrels are original. May affect the price in a positive way for you if they are. Feel free to e-mail them to : timberflint AT yahoo.com if that is something you would like to have posted. Good luck in your quest. tim

HJ, I usually don't look either,to high in his prices,but the lack of "comps" led me there.Just wanted to add a high to say the low "ask" of the two from Brileys. I agree with 400 nitro,the key factor in price is going to be those barrels.
