I suppose $1500 does seem reasonable for a gun of this quality….until you start looking at the pics. It looks to be significantly off face (pic#4), the hinge pin slot seems to have been widened (or new pin made with incorrectly cut slot) and looks out of place (pic #4), the barrels will have to take a considerable amount of striking and work to make them look right too (pics # 12 & 20), pins do not match on the forend (pic #17). Nice locks, nice wood, some attractive features. Probably cost in excess of 2k to make it “right” and that’s if the barrels (bores, MWT, ribs) check out, etc. The barrels would need a lot of cosmetic work, they look pretty awful as is and while it may not drive some people nuts, it would definitely drive me nuts.
