Bernardelli 20 g side by side value?

I am helping a friend appraise and sell her fathers old shotgun
Bernardelli 20g sxs

Double trigger.
It breaks open from a hook on the front of the trigger guard

Some stamping inside the action show...
1687
VT
Gardone

Thanks

Sounds like a folding model collector's or poachers gun. Both Beretta and Bernardelli made an inexpensive folding double shotgun in the 1950s into the early 60s.
VT Gardone is Gardone Val Trompia, a town and district in Italy.
You do not provide any condition information, but they were cheap guns to begin with. It might bring between $200 and $300 if in very good condition, mostly as a curiosity.

I have seen pics of this gun, English stock and in very good shape.
I would pay $300 for it all day long, closer to $700 IMO.

So clearly you have a lot more information than the rest of us.

$300 ridiculous price quote !! Any SXS 20ga made in Italy is worth $500-800 if condition is good even an entry level one is better quality than a savage 311 or a win model 24 which guys here think they are worth up to $2500 and they are clubs at best . They are $300 guns

There is a thread on doubleguns regarding a Bernardelli folding stock SxS. I think the poster mentions he paid $US 200 for his.

Once again another “what’s it worth?” without any details or pictures!! Really? How do you expect to get a value without details on condition or any specs?

 

[Grouse Man]

No specs, no pictures, nothing. Complete? Fucntioning? It's worth $50.

The Spank and Grouse Man have it right.

No information equals impossible to answer question properly.
