Can someone explain the BV, OQ, CC grading system to me please? I know BV= Brand Value, OQ= Original Quality and CC= Current condition. What are the scale ranges from 1 to what and how are the grades evaluated.
If it is written down somewhere, that would be better and I would appreciate it someone could point me in that direction. I've tried looking for it without much luck.
Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
Rocketman developed an excel spreadsheet to determine the potential value of Brit guns. Send him a PM to get the spreadsheet with an explanation of the CC scale; they go from 1-9 (see below). The harder item is OQ.
1: Pristine = top one or two gun(s) of one hundred like guns
2: Limited use - slight finish wear, little shooting
3: Significent use
4: Heavy use, but no abuse
5: Minor repairs needed or proper restoration accomplished
6: Shootable but needs some repairs and refinishing or refinished with barrels or stock replaced
7: Shootable but needs expensive repairs or restored with stock and barrels replaced
8: Marginally shootable, significent repairs required soon or poor restoration
9: Unshootable without major repairs/wallhanger
Ken

Dave, drop me a PM with your email and I'll give you the requested info and help you understand it. It does require excel or snail mail hardcopy.
This system will not tell you price as that is a negotiation between a willing seller and a willing and able buyer. However, it will jump start your understanding of values.
