Norm,
I know what you are saying. Usually when I see For Sale, Stevens 16 Ga double I automatically dismiss it as a 311. As in not interested. I don't have too much experience in all the nuances of any maker and this gun is obviously rare. This is very interesting to me. That said interesting can lead to foolishness quickly! I learned that rare doesn't always mean valuable some time ago, ouch! This gun seems to have a lot going for it as far as quality and proven features of the period. In my mind I'm equating it to Fox, LCS, Ithaca features. That should equal similar value, maybe.
