I'd love to have a Webley 728. I would pay more for that that a 12 ga 700
I would not want a 16 ga though.


Mike, you sure will. A 28 bore fetches a 250% to 400% premium over 12 bore.

I saw an unremarkable vintage box lock 28 bore fetch more than $10,000 when the 12 bore of identical make and era was a $1500 gun. Vintage sub gauge guns are rare, 28 being the most desirable, 24 being the least.
