Boy, I don't know of too many Sterlingworths that aren't worth $550! A basket case one (admittedly, a 16) just brought $1300 and change on Gunbroker!
A 16 WITH ejectors. Jake
OK; I edited my post. Trying to justify your bid

?
Indeed. And, I assure you I thought it was in pretty tough shape. A "project" for sure. And, the barrels were questionable which can make for a nasty "project." But you don't see a bunch of small frame SWs with ejectors. I don't think that gun would have made 800 with extractors. Best Regards, Jake
