Could someone give me a realistic current market price for a Robust in 12 gauge and in about 65-70 percent condition, English stock, 2.75" chambers, etc?
Thank you...

It starts at about $500-$600 for basic BLNE and goes on from there. More info needed to give better estimate.

Strangely, there is no model marked on the bottom of the receiver. It is surely a Robust though. It has the lovely sling in the stock and a canon raye bore in the right tube. It is listed as having light pitting in the bore. Maybe 40% case colors are left on the receiver.

The "canon raye", which many people mistake as being a slug barrel, is in fact for greater shot dispersion. Often found on French guns made for hunting woodcock.

Yes, they call them becasse or becassier guns with right barrel or lower barrel having some shallow rifling showing. Italian gun also use technology like this.

The Supra (rifled) barrel as marketed by the manu is also very useful for shooting European rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) while hunting them with a ferret. That was far more common than woodcock hunting.

The MF Robusts I see on GB and GI tend to be priced pretty low or they stay on the market a long time. I'd say they are significantly undervalued because they tend to be reliable, well-balanced and durable. An old MF ad says basically "the gun that deserves its name." I paid $1100 for a Model 202-20 16-bore made in 1931 in great original condition. That was probably too much, and I doubt I could get my money back, but it's a great little game gun I don't have to worry about in the field. I recall seeing only one Robust listed for above $2k, a fully engraved No. 7 that has since been reduced to $1100.
