Ken,
Case in point.
I just purchased a Garbi 101 12ga in the $2300.00 range. I would love to fined/purchase an English SL in the same condition and of the same quality as this 101 for CLOSE to that money.

I'm not holding my breath. I have brought in a couple of English BL's (BL's!) in the 2-3k range, and they were all returned to the seller. Worn out, off face, engraving buffed to hard....and on and on

My Spanish guns are great quality, handle like a dream and I'm not afraid to put the occasional box of high pressure shells thru them. A win/win.

Now I will say, I hunt with an English 28ga and a couple of American doubles. Just can't get away from the nostalgia.

Just one old mans take on it.
