I have found that very well preserved 1949>1964 ( 26 1/2) 20 ga grade I Superposed go for ~ $ 2200>$2500 ( excepting high end dealer pricing)
Attributes that increase the value are:
Original buttplate/ LOP of 14 1/4
28 barrels ( key mover for price increase)
Field chokes: IC/M
Solid Rib
Lightning Configuration /first available in 1956( lighter/ thinner barrels w/ higher nickel content,& some lightening mods to receiver, buttstock, fore end )
Original Tolex case
I would expect to pay in excess of $ 4500 with all the options above , but without the case , I would think $ 3750- $4000 depending on condition.
These are great bird guns.
Best Regards,
JBP
No case.....had one and traded it away a while ago.
The gun I'm looking at has most of those attributes except for the 28" barrels.
Original buttplate and LOP
Field chokes of IC & M
Blued Trigger
Solid Rib
How do you tell if it is a Lightning??
