What would be a reasonable price for a model 12-3 inch that has been refinished with a parkerized finish? It has a standard field stock. Someone at my local club is selling one so I want to know what it's value is. All opinions accepted.
Thanks Marv for your input. I agreed to buy it for a price less than you gave thinking that I couldn't go wrong for a working model 12. I'll turn it into a project gun. I haven't seen the gun in person, only a picture and the guy selling it is selling off guns he inherited from an estate of a good friend of his.He doesn't know much about long guns but knows hand guns quite well. I found that through some internet research that the value of these goes up considerably if it has a 32 inch barrel and solid rib. I couldn't tell from the picture if it has either of the above but I figured for the price I cant go wrong. The parkerized finish really detracts the value.
Guys,
Just wanted to jump in on this. I Have an early 50's Mod 12 - 3" all origional. No rust/pits/orig pad/ wood in very good condition. What do you think would be a fair asking price?
Guy's, I bought this gun sight unseen because the price was good. When I got it home, I found out it was a 32" barrel. It was reblued with a parkerized finish because you can see that it had some pitted rust. The new blueing job looks good. I put a trap stock on it and going to shoot it sunday for a round to see how I do. It was manufactured in 1947.
