Im still somewhat unclear as to a ballpark value, it seems the consensus is that it is greater than $450, but Id like to get a little better idea, just for my own peace of mind.
So, what are we talking about here? $750? $1000? $1500?
I have no intention of selling it at this time, but the value question may affect whether or not I refinish it.

I'd put it in the $1500 range. I'm not an expert, but I think you would be able to get low-mid teens for it. Or maybe I should say, if I were looking for something in that class, I would be willing to pay somewhere in that range for it.

more likely bought in a barrelled action from the Birmingham trade Would not the London proof marks indicate that this is not the case? Im not disputing, just trying to learn. Not necessarily. London proof could very easily have been requested as part of the deal. To my knowledge, there was no law specifying which proof house had to be used. Many felt the London proof gave a gun more Prestige.

Very nice gun, nicer than I was imagining from your description. It doesnt seem to need anything, after being deemed safe by a gunsmith, other than a steady supply of 2 1/2 shells from RST. Shoot it well and enjoy!

I am planning to list this gun for sale as I simply do not hunt with it often, and I am trying to put so funds together for a skiff, something that my fish-obsessed son and I will actually use.
So…is the market price for a gun like this similar to what it was 2.5 years ago, or have prices gone up a bit like most things?
Thanks!
Jonathan

Sadly prices have gone south for most S/S's.
That is not to say that you can't find a buyer who will pay good money: it is just a matter of supply and demand. There are a lot of English S/S boxlocks out there needing a new home!
