| What is a 1966 vintage, 20 ga. Belgian Auto-5 with VR and Mod Choke, 28" barrel and in 95-96% original condition, worth on today's market? No box (that I know of) and it has been fired....what would be a reasonable offer if I wanted to own it? We all know they aren't "worth" what's often being asked...but what would a "reasonable" person need to pay if he/she wanted to own one? |

All original, no recoil pad or pllychoke etc start with $800. If it's got the round knob they are typically more sought after and that's right about the time they went to the flat knob...
BUT many sell for more like $1,100....not sure they should but they do.

| Thank you Jeff; I was not aware that the round knobs commanded a premium... |

Jeff's right --I have seen the round knobs bring a substantial premium locally--whether at auction,private or at a gun shop  |
