Pedersoli Deluxe Shotguns

[Lorne Johnson]

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 4000

What gauges are we looking at with these cased beauties?

They are both 12 gauge one is a percussion sxs and the other is a tube lock sxs

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.

Most were in the $700.00 and under range, lots of people do not want them because those Damascus barrels "blow up" don't you know.

Here is one that stuck, 14 gauge.

I had a Pedersoli double many years ago. The prettiest gun I ever had. This was before information was widely available on loads. On my own I could not get that gun to pattern well enough to be useful. I remember the chrome-lined barrels. I stupidly let it go like so many other really nice muzzleloaders.

When you look at prices of these doubles on websites like Guns International the dealers are asking big bucks for them over here compared to England. Dealers are not shy with there pricing.

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 .

Will someone let me know when these cheap doubles show up.

 

[French Colonial]

Blah Blah Blah........ you go to sites that are known for high prices and complain they have high prices.

I know some of you can not but if you go to where the shotguns are you will find better prices, I bought quite a few at Friendship, shotguns are there because they get used a lot there. Buy and sell some at the local BP clubs also if they have BP trap shoots.

Go where the guns are and you will find plenty.

Yep. It is what it is.

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

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 saw two at the eastern or northeastern, the one in Pennsylvania this summer . Both Pedersoli one $700 the other at $1200 .
