John Roberts' example above on Stan's Elsie Field Grade is a case of a gun with a very unusual combination of features: 32" barrels, single trigger, 16ga, really nice condition. All of those combined = price increase. Not sure I've seen it mentioned here, but since we're talking British guns specifically:
Right now the market on British 12's is relatively soft. Relative to the smaller bore guns. The Brits made a lot more 12's than anything else. Smaller bores are in greater demand compared to the available supply. Which can make small bores look expensive in comparison and/or 12s very good buys. Take your pick. If barrels shorter than 28" work for you, then guns with 25" or 26" guns (especially 12's) can be really good buys. Not all that long ago, there was more interest in guns with the 25" "Churchill" barrels. That fad has faded.
