I agree with Mr. Researcher. There may be no collector value in either the Repro or the RBL. However, the value of both is in the reputation of the maker. No one knew Mr. Skeuse before the Repro was produced, but the gun made the man's reputation in gunmaking. Mr. Galazan already has a positive gunmaking reputation and I will order a gun based on that reputation. Yes, I have a 28 gauge Repro, but it doesn't have 30" barrels and I can't buy another for $3495.00. I think Tony's new 28 will be well worth the money.
