450_366,
Thats a good price for a Simson. Are the smaller gauges just as cheap? Say 16, 20 and smaller? How readily available are the Simson's, Sauer's and older Merkel's? Just being nosey. Around my area any SxS that isn't Parker or LC Smith can usually be had at a decent price. It's funny because not even the English guns do well here. There is a Greener Empire in a local shop that is in about 80% original condition and it is currently priced at $800. It has dropped $200 in the last 6 months. It's interesting to see how this compares to other areas.

My guns are quite new models (47E) but older ones like the mod.8 cost about 100euro (Shop price) and are wery easy to get hold on. Both the merkel/simson and sauer-sohn are in a large quantetis here.
The 16 gauge is even sheaper but not as common, the 20 gauge is wery rare and everyone seems to be looking to buy one. But when sold the cost about 400-500 euro.
Theres mostly german s/s in the market if its not a Husky or belguan(no one wants these as it seems)one
