Help Pricing Antonio Zoli 1973 O/U 12 gauge magnum

[blindshot]

Good day

I've recently inherited several firearms and out of all of the shotguns, this one stands out.

It's a beautiful Antonio Zoli O/U 12 gauge 3" Magnum Shotgun.

I don't know much about this shotgun other than the XX9 marking indicates it's from 1973. I've tried to reach out to the Zoli company but they haven't been real helpful. It is in good condition with a few marks shown in the pictures.

It has 26 inch barrels, Beautiful Color-Case-Hardened and engraved finish, gold bead, double triggers, and excellent quality wood stocks and forearm.

I'd like to know what I could possibly list it for or at least a value for trade. I am willing to consider trade offers for 9mm handgun.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks!!

I need to ask, are you sure its an Antonio Zoli and not an Angelo Zoli. Sometimes the guns are marked A. Zoli which can be confusing. Antonio's guns are the better of the two and are usually stamped with their makers mark which is a drawn bow and arrow.

Realistically, the majority of old Antonio Zoli guns dont command high prices. There are however some exceptional guns made by Antonio that are pretty pricey, but I dont suspect yours to fall into the category. Your gun looks like the typical 60's-70's field over/under. Its common to see these guns at around $500...and sometimes as high as $800 when equipt with features like ejectors, side plates and single selective trigger

It's definitely an Antonio Zoli and from what I've learned by the markings, it was manufactured in 1973. Someone suggested that it might be a Gray Eagle but I haven't been able to confirm.

As already mentioned, they don't command high prices despite maybe being good guns. I would think around $700.00 . Above that and people will buy one of the "B" guns or a Winchester 101 instead.

Yup! Aside from it saying Antonio, that is the typical drawn bow and arrow trademark I was referring to. Its a nice gun, but unfortunately not highly valued

Ya it's pretty nice looking with the case hardening, shorter barrel and considering how light it is. Not too bad for a 1973. I was thinking of keeping it but probably won't get much use out of it.
