I was wondering if you guys could help me out on putting a price on this LeFever.
This is a LeFever 16 Ga. Sidelock Grade "F" made in 1891. Ser. 13###.
No bluing on the barrels but there is some staining. The Damascus is faint. The bores have alittle shallow pitting but not bad at all. 28" Barrel uncut
The Receiver is Patina but does have some CaseColor on the top lever and around the triggers. The stock and forearm are correct and the numbers match the frame and barrels. No cracks, LOP is 14". The buttplate has a smallchip out of the toe. The forend checkering is worned. Locks up very tight on face and has no play when open. The top lever is just alittle left of center.
I'm unsure if I want to keep this Lefever so any help pricing would be great. 
Blue book is $700 at 10% with a 50% increase because it's a 16GA.
Thanks for your time

always hard to say sight unseen. Pics would help a lot.
Engraving patterns changed a lot over the years.
