Do you think that this gun should have been kept in a gun case, never to be used, in fair or foul weather? Do you see a high grade gun not kept pristine like all the rest of its kind? Do you see a great loss of value in it because of the wear and tear on the gun? I see a gun which has had more shells shot in it that all the rest of the same high grade put together. This gun has seen several lifetimes of use and has given tons of pleasure to one or two or three owners. Some men marry a beautiful wife to be seen with her some marry her to be "with" her. I know which type of person this fellow was. And if you could afford to buy this gun and do the same you would too. Money is a way to keep score, not a God to be worshiped. Life is short, shoot often and be happy.
