If a person does not own one, I would recommend picking one up now. The one "cuz" is looking at would be a great buy at $4000 if it really is near mint. Where in hell do the cases disappear to? I bet that gun was once a two barrel set and the case was sold.


Bill, are you sure of that, could your memory be getting a bit fuzzy? As I recall, one of those NIB 28-ga. 2-bbl. sets sold for ~$7500 and you shortly thereafter boldly predicted that they would soon rise to $10,000. You will undoubtedly be right eventually, but it's probably going to take awhile to get there now.
