Sure, your ideas count as do all those from members generous enough to offer them. There's rarely one that doesn't include something I haven't thought of. That's why I poke my nose here every day. In my work, only ideas have a premium. Regards, King

OK, I'll take your word for it, that an A-1 Special is worth around $50-60k. And I can see the added value of the "Provenance". However, the gun is NOT original, and a stock replacement is not exactly a minor modification.
For those who think it's worth the estimate, I have the axe George W. used on the cherry tree. True, it's had the handle replaced 3 times, and 2 new heads, but it's still his axe.
What am I offered?
Pete

If Thurston Howell III doesn't know the value of a fine gun, no one does. By the by, Thurston, Ginger or Maryanne?

Look at it this way King - Rosie O'Donnel has the same parts inside of her as does Jennifer Aniston. It's on the outside that counts. I don't know about the rest of you but just the thought of the above will probably move the cocktail hour up some for me today!!

Wonder if RL Wilson can authenticate this piece...
My favorite part of this whole story is the seller's motivation to auction as 'fun and exciting'. This must be different than the common 'trolling for suckers' we find on the gun auction sites since the owner is wealthy and dosen't need the money.

I just bought a F grade Remington 1100 that I intend to give to JFK. No wait he is dead. Then I will give it to Ike. No wait he is dead. I will give it to Ronald Reagan. No wait he is dead. Well, I have a gun that was to be a gift to three Presidents. Must be worth a million dollars. Sounds just like this gun to me.
If the gun never got delivered, it is all BS to me. Then it comes down to what the gun is, as it is, right now. Restocked?, bad news. Qusetionable history with decenters making some strong points. Not a gun that I would drop 50-75K on. But that is why I have no interest in this gun. I would rather put that much money into two of the best grade Lefevers any day, than one Parker.

Sounds like a drilling to me.
