I have a new DeHaan SGrS in .410 for chasing the grouse this season. A few years ago, I had a DeHaan SO in .410 and was very pleased with it. No complaints from me!

I have always been impressed with just how nice the wood is on the Turkish guns.

In time they might be decent guns, but some I have seen were the worst crap I have ever seen in gundom. De Haan, I understand, had to make a lot of them right before sales. I have seen all kinds of broken parts, poor metal/poor hardening, etc. They have the same problem as the Spanish having the early imports suffering their quality on potential better quality coming later. One military guy came back with a new O/U he paid %150 for in Turkey...and he was taken. Caveat Emptor.

Some of the early "case color" which was almost certainly a chemical job, not the real heat treat seemed to rust from handling in a short time. The gun above looks very nice for the price and is doubtless a more durable finish. There will always be a market for a reasonably priced double gun, but you get what you pay for most of the time. I might personally lean toward a used gun in good shape for the dollar value. Steve

May be mis-interpreted...what I mean is another brand of used gun for the dollar value...

It is really amazing how many great deals there are out there. The Spanish guns like AYA 2/3 once Blue Booked for nothing but were excellent guns. Now, probably the best value out there are German guns. It is common to find a tight gun with great bores out there for $600. Most of these are 16 ga and boxlocks, but not always. Unlike some countries, there are no mediocre or under average German shotguns. If they have good barrels and are tight, you are getting a great deal.
