I am not much of a gun trader but I am an excellent gun accumulator.
I have and hunt with Elsies. A 1947 field model solid rib, extractor, very tight action, a fair amount of case left and blue worn as would be expected from a gun that was hunted, nice bores, has come up for auction sale locally. It is much newer than any I currently have. It is also a gun you could hunt with without worrying over a new scratch or ding.
Can anyone help me
with the quality of 1947 model and just a ball park value?
Thanks and Merry Christmas to all you folks. I hope the new year is kind to you.
