With intent of helping any "others" who might have interest, I offer the following view.

C&H brand name has Brand Value three (middle of the range for Brit and Continental brand names); BV3.

Assume it is a middle Original Quality grade, typical of many boxlock Brit guns; OQ6.

Assume the Current Condition of the gun fits the following description, "significent use" (50% original finish, few spots of surface damage, no mechanical faults); CC3.

BV3 - OQ6 - CC3 = $2320.


Reverse engineering the value: BV3 (fixed fact).

Assume one quality grade and one current condition grade lower: BV3 - OQ7 - CC4 = $1233 (CC4 = heavy use but no abuse)

Assume two condition grades lower: BV3 - OQ6 - CC5 = $1336 (CC5 = heavy use with minor repairs needed)


Could be a bargain.
