From the pictures I would say that gun is worth the money easily. Looks to have a fair amount of CC left. Is it a 12 or 16 gauge? I just paid $2250 for a Sterlingworth which was in excellent shape by the way and know others that have paid that or more for a very nice Sterly if that helps. I am sure you will have many PMing you about the gun if you pass at that price. It would be in my closet already, especially with a straight grip.
