Those are some really nice guns. But in that kind of condition on this side of the Atlantic they would be north of $4000, likely well north.
For $4000 dealers that are buying them in the UK shipping them to the States and are making a fortune ,yes the Uk market is low in price for both antique and modern weapons Take the image in this thread of the cased W Greener that gun complete cost me one year ago £ 550 which will average against the dollar of 700 that's a big difference to 4000Those are some really nice guns. But in that kind of condition on this side of the Atlantic they would be north of $4000, likely well north.
They are both 12 gauge one is a percussion sxs and the other is a tube lock sxsWhat gauges are we looking at with these cased beauties?
I have not bought one in awhile but that has not been my experience, when I was active in trading in doubles I never paid over $1,000.00 for one.Those are some really nice guns. But in that kind of condition on this side of the Atlantic they would be north of $4000, likely well north.
Will someone let me know when these cheap doubles show up.To be honest I would keep off reproes, too buy two of the same type it would have been better to use the money and buy a original English sxs shotgun . At the present they are so cheap in the UK with a flooded market which eventfully will end up in the States by the container load .

Yep. It is what it is.For $4000 dealers that are buying them in the UK shipping them to the States and are making a fortune ,yes the Uk market is low in price for both antique and modern weapons Take the image in this thread of the cased W Greener that gun complete cost me one year ago £ 550 which will average against the dollar of 700 that's a big difference to 4000

Beautiful Shotguns and in the style of presentation cases that I like. I have been converting shotgun cases the past few weeks to fit my muzzleloaders as shotgun cases today are not long enough in the stock area. I have yet to see any shotguns available in that kind of condition for sale. Most of the ones I see I can appreciate them for what they are, but they were rode hard and put away wet a long time ago. It is difficult to find high quality older black powder guns, or ones that are worth restoring. Ones in that shape would interest me.I admire your enthusiasm but to shoot a hand made English sxs to a factory machine made you will soon see the difference. so enjoy your repro and may be one day you see the difference
