    I bought a Trap grade in Oct. 20GA with 26in barrels choked IC/Mod. With the exception of a Fajen stock, everything seems original. The CC was mostly gone but their is a fair amout of bluing left and the bores are clean and measure .614 and .615. I paid $1800 and was told I got a great deal. I've seen similar guns for sale on Guns International for just over $4K, but don't know if they sold at that price. My letter states mine is a 1923 20ga Trap grade with HOT trigger, Ejectors, and 26 in barrels. It also has a solid rib. Good luck, as I found out, it's nearly impossible get difinitive gun values. Even if I paid too much for mine , I love the gun and it's not going anywhere. For me, that's all I needed.
