Last year I bought a 1961 28" Belgian made skeet twenty for $700 cdn. Well used mind you, which is how I like them, as it proves that it shoots well. Shot a grouse on the wing with it first time out. Yes it is a nice upland twenty.
You are right sask that the older gun is of no doubt higher quality, etc. Not many people appreciate a 58 year old gun... except for guys like us... me thinks.

Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?
