    I don't think the pigeon grade was made til 1974, so it shouldn't be over 27 years old if it was a first year model. Hard to give an exact figure on price without seeing the gun but I would guess around $1000.With the barrels replaced the gun should bring $1500 or more.

    Try this site. He seems to specialize in O/U's and Winchester 101's.

    I would find a set of 26" barrels for the gun. It would probably be cheaper than trying to get the orginal barrels repaired. I have never bought barrels for an 101 so I'm not sure what they sell for.

    I have this exact gun. It has a coined receiver. To remove rust would damage engraving, IMHO. You'll need a real pro to refinish this one and that will not be cheap. In the condition described, $1000 is a serious reach. I see EXC condition guns going for $1300+. My guess is $500 to $800. Depends on the wood character and condition. If there is wood problems or it has been cut...real low $. Condition rules again.
