I found one of these guns in a pawn shop today and not knowing much about them, thought I might turn to those of you more knowledgeable. It's in good shape as near as I can tell with the furniture being very good but there is some wear to the bluing. This is a Belgium made gun that the dealer thought was made in the 60's. My only question there is that it has screw-in chokes and it seems like most the older guns I've seen have fixed chokes. I don't know how long the barrels are but overall the gun is in good condition, the dealer called it a 90% gun.
It's a very nice gun, probably too nice to carry in the field, which is unfortunate since I'm looking for a new dove and skeet gun. Still, if I could get a good deal on it, I'd take it in the field and not worry too much. The dealer is asking $2,500, which seems kind of high from what I can tell on gunbroker. The only knock I've heard on these guns, well, really the Citori, is that they are too heavy to carry all day but this gun seemed very light to me.
