Stallone, if you know where Sterlingworths are still under a $1000 please send me an address?

Buck, what is older to you? Is that 50years, 100 years, o more? You can probably find a pretty nice JP Sauer post war around your price range and in condition without problems and Charles Daly/Miroku doubles are in that range too. If you go much older than that the Ithaca NIDs are not too far out of the price range. But the 100 year old guns are for those of us somewhat jaded who like to play with short chambers, lower pressure limits and aren't afraid of damascus if properly checked out.
