Sell it for? What you paid is YOUR own business

The part of your thread about your wife and her views concerning your gun "habit" amused me and brought to mind a incident when my wife and I were first married. My wife know before we married that I smoked a pipe. One evening I lit my pipe up in the house. She gave my a scolding look and remarked, "you are not going to smoke that thing in my house". I looked at her and asked, "Oh, did you buy a house too? I promise that I won't smoke in "your house." 43 years later and I've never heard another word about it.

It doesn't have the pedigree, but that refinished guild gun with the Briley chokes, sling swivels, 2.75" chambers and great nitro barrels would likely be a more functionally versatile gun than the Webley. Not sure if that even matters to the op, but it's something to think about. Belgian guns [can be] way undervalued in my humble opinion.

She has not made a real hard stand, some of it is self imposed! I have made sure to keep gun money separate from house money. I appreciate the advice and will most likely list the guild gun at a high price and see if anyone bites.
Any thoughts on to whether it has been restored? Thanks.
Most likely- my advice parallels that of the late Limey author Rudyard Kipling- keep both guns and get a divorce--In his immortal poem about the Wedding- "A million women like Maggie, are willing to bear the yoke- but a woman's only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke"-- Of course that was penned in 1890, when women didn't vote or aspire to politics or any form of government, and were content to follow the Germanic mantra of "Kinder, Kuchen und Kirch"-- The late Gene Hill also wisely advised us to "never yet the wives really know what guns, gun club memberships and bird dogs really cost". That is a fine looking Guild gun, even with the Briley chokes- if you can kill birds or crush clays with it, then "Machts Nicht"-- keep it!!
