Its easy to say a 26" barreled 12 has doubled in price in the last three years. But, it would be tough to prove it.
Lots of short barreled 12s are languishing on dealers shelves these days. Model 21 and otherwise.

TED: First not wanting to appear picayune but I said the shotgun went up 50% in value and that would mean it had
increased half again its' value [e.g. $5200 to $7800], to DOUBLE IN VALUE IT WOULD HAVE HAD TO GO UP 100%. That being said if you can find anymore Model 21's
as I described languishing on the dealer's shelves, especially with factory splinter forearms and "as new mint" let me know, it won't languish there much longer. Proving it [value increase] is fairly easy in fact, I have tried to buy another one like it in 16 gauge and everyone wants 8000+, and while the gauge difference may make up some of the difference, it would be negligible as 16's were the second most prolific gauge after 12's. Keep me posted when you find me one!
