I agree price point plays a role, however, the most expensive gun on the order was the Augusta at $1265 with 2 sets of barrels, my 53e was next at $129. Both guns custom ordered with cast and drop. The lest expensive gun on the order was the 117s at $77 each, my xxvbl was at $86 each.
I wish I would have bought more of the 117 along with the 53e.
Each gun ran an additional $10 for handling and A 1 time fee of $99.99 for import. To note none of the gun we ordered direct from the factory have any additional import marks.
Just can,t believe the price of what they are going for now.
Now the 2 number 2s I picked up in the early 80 while in Spain ran me just under a grand a 28 with 2 sets of barrels and a 410. My biggest mistake was not getting a case for the 410.
Now I did pick up an Ibar in 20 with triple bit the barrels are great steel, the locks and internals are soft and poor steel, but it's still going strong
