Saw one, not as nice as yours today in a gunshop with a price of, get this now, $1,150.00. Just about fell over when I saw it. Talk about prices getting a little out of hand and dealers who do not know hat they have. I bet that your did not set you back that much.
I picked one up several months ago that must be as close to unfired as any I have ever seen. No wear, no signs of shell wear on breech face, no rub marking from assembly and opening and closing gun. One very minor ding on the stock that is tiny. Bought it on line at an auction site for Less than 400. Fuzzy pictures and poor description got me to take a chance. Even with fuzzy pictures it looked like the case color was good so I made the min. bid and won it. I smiled ear to eat when I saw how nice it was. Too nice to shoot.
