There for several years it seemed to me at least that Sedgleys were stuck at an asking price of $1200, average guns and dogs, while G&H prices increased. I don't know why that price. Then, as the knowledge of Springfield sporters spread (thanks to MP!), the gems started coming out and they drew higher offers. The market seems a bit weak at this time. With that said, when I saw the pics of your rifle, I immediately thought- standard Sedgley, decent condition= $1200. The extra swivel sticks out sorely, but it looks clean overall. I think that is the original butt plate. Its hard to tell from the pics if that is the original stock finish, it looks okay and fits the overall condition of the rifle in the pics, but you are stating a lower metal finish percentage than what I can tell in the pics. It looks like there's a chip out of the schnabel, also. Just my opinion, which may be worth less than AL's above, but, assuming the bore is fine, if mine, I'd run it for $1200 but be prepared to take a bit less. If the wood has been refinished, I'd drop it to $1000 and be prepared to take less. At the end of the day, its a well made Springfield sporter, in a popular caliber, with a Lyman 48. GLWTS.
