Investarms/Sile O/U

[red95gtcoupe]

Ive searched and cannot some up with much info on this gun. The gun says INVESTARM MADE IN ITALY, 20 Gauge 3" magnum, and SILE Inc - NEW YORK. Does anyone know the approx value? I picked it up for $250 and it looks like it was barely used. Is Investarm the manufacturer and SILE the importer? Are these a decent gun. Im not concerned with the price since it was cheap and there were plenty of others interested in purchasing it from the guy I bought it from.

Thanks
Brian.

Investarms is still making guns, black powder. I have one from Cabelas, Cabelas branded. I think they make Lyman's rifles IIRC. Their shotgun site is at http://www.investarm.com/eng/

Any, yes, SILE would be the importer. I don't have a clue on value, but that site shows what look like some decent O/Us.

I have had one for over twenty years. It is a very good gun IMHO. I have taken many pheasants with mine over the years. Mine is the backpacker model. Named so because it folds completely in half I guess. As for value I have no idea but $250 for a chromoly barrelled o/u probably ain't too bad. I also have a Lyman Trade rifle in 54 cal made by them. It is a nice gun too.
