It's only worth what a person is willing to pay. If it were my cup of tea, I'd definitely feel comfortable at the starting bid of $1500.00. However, I don't believe the seller will let it go at that figure.
Start bidding and see what happens. Let us all know. |

Nice looking gun. Will be interesting if the bidding starts to see when/if the Reserve is met.
I'm just not sure about that CC. Something looks too bright or lively if you know what I mean. Anyone else get the feeling that the CC was redone?
I'm thinking about throwing a bid out.
A check of the current Blue Book doesn't give much info. The company has been around for quite a while but has had different importers over the years.
There are current production guns by the company being imported. I doubt this gun is a newer gun though with the 2.5" and 2.75" proofs. I might be wrong but I would think any current guns (last few+ yrs) would be strictly 2.75". Might be wrong on that, just a guess.
Suppose to be quality type guns.
Anyone with a lot more knowledge than I, a tea cup amount would be more than I have, able to enlighten me a bit.
Thanks |

The only help I can give is the fact this one has been listed for quite a while. The last go around it reached just over$2000. and did not meet reserve.
Best,

That gun will maybe be let go at 3500.00 but I doubt a penny less.
The pix arent great. I can't tell if its a 7 pin gun or not. But, if its a 7 pin its gonna ball of 3500.00 and as much as 5000.00
Take a look at the Kimber valier- its a similar type gun but with only 1 bbl set and goes for 5000.00 new. So, that's my best guess. It's a gorgeous gun and be a great addition to any cabinet if you are a sidelock guy of the Spanish Style guns. Not that its Spanish but its got that look to it. Me, I'm more of a boxlock guy. Dang, i wish I had 2500.00 extra bucks right now I know exactly what I'd buy and it wouldnt be that gun even if I had the bones, though its beautiful-and thanks for the look. |

| The case colors, and the wood make the gun look like a safe queen. However, I don't remember anything saying age of the gun. |

| The same french company makes Hastings rifled slug gun barrels, so they're still in business. |

| Without a bid at even $1500, they'll never reach the Reserve/Buy now price. |
