Greetings all, new to the forum and was looking for advise regarding my potential first purchase at a collector double. I have the opportunity to purchase a Colt 1878 10 gauge SxS that appears unrefinished, on face and locks tightly. Listed as having grade 2 engraved receiver and Damascus barrels that appear sharp and >90% intact (visible). Checkered stock complete/intact with what looks like better than average shape for it's age. Barrels are 32", shiny w/o pitting. I am unable to post pics and know that asking to guestimate a price w/o them is unrealistic. If I were to acquire her for mid 2k am I looking at a good gun to start my collection? I've researched the Colt the best I can online and am drawn to the beauty of the gun. Serial # puts her in 1881 production range. Thanks, appreciate any input from other Colt owners.
