I've got an opportunity to buy a new A5 DU 16 gauge someone won at a DU dinner for about half what I paid for my "plain" one. Any idea of the real value of these? I've seen some on the auction sites sell for around $2,000. |

Our local DU chapter has one for our banquet and the auction price starts at $1500 to pay our cost |

First I’ve heard of these. Is there a picture anywhere? Just like to see what it looks like. |

Make sure you see one in person before you buy. No offense meant to anyone, but to me the metal finish looks like silver spray paint. |

Not buying. Just bought a 26 inch model. Dove today is it’s first hunt.
I think a gold embellished blued receiver would appeal more to me. |

Its worth fair market value of a standard Sweet 16. There is no premium on it being a DU gun. |

At our spring dinner the DU Sweet Sixteen went for $1400. Fall dinner is in two weeks... |
