The market is down due to reduced demand. Today I looked at 1924 vintage 20ga Sterlingworth 2.5" chambers, 28" IM-Full chokes. It had some carry wear with original bluing on barrels plus most original varnish remaining, mechanically 100% about as easy to reassemble as a new Merkel. The tag said $949. Not long ago that would have been price of run of the mill 12ga.
