A decrepit duck blind in Atikokan, ON
Hey folks,

A friend has asked me to sell a couple guns for him and while I have a pretty good handle of most of them, I don't have a clue about this "Trombone".

It's in pretty good shape and I thought it'd be worth a bit of cash until I noticed it had been drilled and tapped :puke:

Obviously that chops the value down (likely way down), my question is how much? Any ballpark ideas on a price?

Thank you,

Cory
 
I own one, great little guns.

These don't come up for sale very often.

There was three (recent) listings on another Canadian site.

Ask - $850 - didn't sell

Ask - reduced to $650 - hasn't sold yet

Ask - $1000 - hasn't sold

I was offered $400 for mine a few years back (ok maybe 10 years back now) - didn't sell - worth more than that "to me" since it was a hand-me-down from my Dad (I remember he had to have it inspected when the long gun registry started because it lacked a model number or something that they recognized).

So while there will be all kinds of "opinions", if another one in decent shape didn't get "snapped up" at $650, that may be a bit higher than what anyone thinks it's worth.

There was 150,000 of these built if that means anything.

Sold an old rusty one from my father for 600 two years ago with a 70k serial number, then bought one when my son was born in october for 500 in near perfect shape with a 30k serial number.

They are worth whatever someone will pay for them.
These are into collector/sentimental status.
