DU Special Limited Edition Franchi Value?
« on: September 09, 2003, 11:20:26 AM »
Hi Guys,

A friend has a semi-auto 12 ga shot gun that he is interested in having valued for insurance purposes, etc... I haven't seen it but I believe that it is a special/limited edition Franchi that was built for Ducks Unlimited Canada and was subsequently raffled off. This gentleman was the winner, however, he isn't a "gun" person and knows very little about firearms. The gun is new and in unfired condition. It has been handled very little and there are no detectable wear marks, scratches or dings on the finish. It is heavily engraved, with most engravings being gold filled,also has a gold plated trigger. Has "Luigi Franchi" engraved on it, along with "GAF SD". Has 23/4 & 3" chamber. I'd appreciate it if anyone could come up with a fair market value for this collectible piece. What kind of market/demand is there for these DU shotguns? Any extra info or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
