First of all no one can honestly determine the value without seeing the gun. The condition is everything. How much blue, case colors, wood finish, etc. remain on the gun will determine the overall value. Unless this 12ga Specialty belonged to a very prominent figure, and can be proven to have belonged to said figure, it isn't worth $13,500. Check the various auction and classified ad sites and you will get a ball park figure of what it is worth. Depending on condition I would say whomever appraised this gun for your son was about $8,000-$10,000 too high.
