Nice perspective, Tim. Thanks for that.

I may be out of calibration, but I see it as follows. Brand Value two (BV2) for Beesley. Original Quality grade six (OQ6) for a second grade BLE. Current Condition level four (CC4) for a heavily used, but not abused gun.

BV2-OQ6-CC4 = $2,648 for a 12 bore. The spread above 2500BPS and the $ - BPS exchange rate equal premium for a 28 bore plus ding for a very short stock.
