The title says it... what is a fair price for one of these... bluing is unblemished as new. Wood has very few and very minor handling marks. A Pachmayer decelerator recoil pad has bee professionally added. Length of pull is 13.5 inches. Improved cylinder and modified fixed chokes.

They are a good quality gun just never quite made a strong mark in the market as for the $700 gun I'm sure it has se sort of issuess $900.-$1100.00 should be in the ball park 13.5 "" pull mite be a little on the short side
 
The USA boys love there shotguns not so in Canada people here think $500 is big money for a shotgun .yes that is a 1953 model 21 Winchester on my avatar . I would like to site u a example a fellow was looking for a high end o/u on EE I thought ok I"ll send him.pm I opened up his add and it said I have $1.500.00 to spend that was the end of that not be littleing him that's just how it it is in this country except for about 25 guys of which I know about 20

I agree the big bucks for guns is in the US...

As far as I can tell I think this 98% gun in the US would be around $1150 - $1200 ... that's US dollars...

I'll have to make a decision now...

I'd say Struff is right on. Maybe a little low on the price, I would have thought top out at $1500.
The 13 1/2" pull is for sure a concern, as is the $700.
 
Ifit had chokes 1100-1200 would be about right as far as for me IC /mod would be perfectThis Particular gun barely sold new for $1500.00 ifthat it is likely from the 90's
 
The fixed chokes from my experience with these are a real hard sell unless you find some old guy like me that wants it as a keeper for a collection or to take to his grave. No choke tubes most won't give it a second look.
I would start at 1100 just in case there is that one guy out there but reduce each week accordingly and it will probally sell in the 900 range because it is a 20ga.
I still have 2 mint one 12ga and a 28ga. 28ga would not last a day on the ee in the 1500 range and it has tubes lots of them. I tried to sell the 12 some time ago here and finally when I would have dropped it to 700-800 bucks to move I decided to keep it. It has no tubes mod/ ic I think

I would agree with those in the $7-750 ballpark. Having the stock shortened so severely eliminates almost everybody over 5'-6" as a potential buyer, and it would no longer have any interest to a collector.

Yup, you mount it to your shoulder holder "PULL" and you dust that clay pigeon.
I shot 15 out of 25 tossing from a hand thrower and functioned flawlessly.
Just didnt like the short barrels and fixed chokes.
Best Regards.

So severely shortened? It is only 1/2 an inch. It fits the vast majority of those 5'10 or 11 if you have a jacket on. Length can vary so much with how the shooter shoulders the gun... across his body butt more out on his arm or more in front with butt more in his shoulder and add or subtract a jacket ... those things can be an inch and a half difference.

Collectors - well they want all original and would prefer the box and hanging tags too.
 
I have an early production model, 26", F&M. I bought it NIB at a small shop that used to be at the north end of Naniamo. I have no intent to sell but for what it's worth, I was offered $1,050.oo about a year ago.

 
Nice little upland gun, as is, for a shooter that it fits ( likely someone under 5'-10", youngster, lady ) that could also work for a bit of skeet, sporting & 5-stand.
I'd look for $ 1000, maybe a little more given it's excellent condition.
