"6 different vendettas" ??? Does the engraver hate birds or what?
OK, seriously. BV3-OQ1-CC2.5 = $12,250 per gun = $24,500/pair.
BV3 = brand name value added by "Scott;" no problem. OQ1 = originally built as best work guns; no problem. CC2.5 = between slight use and significant use; big problem. They both have been rebarreled which suggests serious use or abuse. BV3-OQ1-CC4 = $8,000/gun where CC4 = "heavy use but no abuse." The chipped screw head slots suggest less than best work repairs, too. I'm not comfortable with the wood grade suggested by the photos; it seems like more figured wood was appropriate for the grade of engraving and Scott was well known for selecting high quality and figure wood. Scott was also big on semi-pistol grips (POW), so the straight stocks suggest restocking. Old restock? The blacking level does not match the case hardening color wear, so they have been recently reblacked. The 2 1/2" drop at heel is a bit much for a typical Brit game gun --- restocked and rebarreled for the American market?? BV3-OQ1-CC5 = $6,000/gun where CC5 = minor repairs need or restoration accomplished.
