.470 Evans

I appreciate the comments of the contributors relative to my post concerning the rifles at Cabela's in Buda, Texas. I am seeking the advice of the participants concerning one of the rifles for sale, particularly as to the value of the piece. Specifically, it is the .470 Evans shown here:cabelas.com/cabelas/en/content/community/gun_inventory/inventory/buda/fine_rifle/999843_evn470_bud.jsp?hierarchyId=10473

The barrels are apparently not original, or if they are, they were not proofed in 1930 when the rifle was made. As the photos in the listing show, they were proofed in 1994, apparently in London. The engraving on the barrels is most certainly not 30's era, and is not appropriate to the rest of the gun. That grip cap looks a little funny, too. Given this, I would appreciate any ideas on value, with a thought to resale down the road, as I remain loyal to very few of my guns. I have a Clintonesque tendency to "play the field."

I offered them 18K. which they declined.
