I sympathise: I know the crabby feeling one gets from being skunked - the Red Gods have been frowning at me and handing me the horse collar lately. I'm trying to figure out what I've done that's irritated them, so I can get back on their good side before the seasons close around here. Back On-topic. When I posted my prior comment on the thread, about getting the gun checked out, etc., I was operating under the belief the owner wanted it for a shooter. If it's exclusively as a wall-hanger, a little work on the stock and a good cleaning will probably be enough. Hang it so the non-matching hammer is against the wall and that will be that. fiery, dependable, occasionally transcendent

A crack in the stock that can be repaired and a miss matched hammer and it's ready for the scrap pile ? It seems a lot of you are experts without holding the gun in your hands to give it a proper evaluation. I came on this forum a couple of years ago and people were POLITE - you could ask a question and get polite answer. Now it seems like the " Obama gang" has taken over. It's sad. Paul

Can you not see the original low quality of this gun through all it's cracks and scuffs ? In pristine unfired absolute mint condition it wouldn't fetch $1500.00 to $2000.00.

Paul Talk'n about the "Obama gang" ....is that why you would you recommend throwing away good money at it ?

There's a lot of American guns - Parkers, Remingtons, L.C Smiths, and so on that cost less than a grand that one can enjoy shooting. The fun is shooting the old SxS's - they don't all have to look perfect. And for some of us the joy is fixing them, then shooting em. Paul

HomelessjOe Sidelock Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 15,462 Likes: 89 The Great State of Tennessee	Originally Posted By: Will Blastem QUESTIONS: #1. I am looking for more info on this fine shotgun, but where should I start? #2. What is a good reference book? #3. I need to get its value appraised for insurance reasons also, who could do that? Not looking to sell, it'll be a novelty keeper/wall hanger that I plan pass on to my son one day. Thank you kindly! ~William I traded a $350 rifle for it, so I don't "think" that I lost on the deal... Or did I? Just curious as to the real value so that I know what sort of rider policy to have it insured for. How can I accurately establish this value as well? Or do I have to send it out to get it appraised? The only "jOy" I see is in his hope that he hit the mother load Just to help spread the "jOy" I'll start the bidding at $25 bucks...
