Is This a Crazy Price For a 520-30?

Nice example and up over $5K now. But is this realistic or just a frenzy of "I want it more than you" bidding?

they have reached these prices before. It is worth what someone is willing to pay. I do not see this as one upsmanship. I see this more as advanced collectors want the best example possible for their collection. The 520-30 is one of my favorites and I have a very nice one but I am always looking for more 520-30 in riot, training and trench. Finding an all matching example is not easy. The more people learn about these guns the more they go up.

Beautiful example! Looks almost too good.

Might be a good time to put my 95%+ 520-30 on Gunbroker for a bit less to possibly attract the "Also Bid" guys. :-)

It is a fabulous shotgun, and appears to be correct. I do have a question about the sling though. The keepers are held on with staples. I think that means it's not military. Does anyone else have an opinion on that? Not reason to hold back on the gun of course. It would be nice to see if the stock matches the receiver and barrel.

Yep. That is the missing photo.
