Valmet Twenty and Twelve value

edited June 2002 in Ask the Experts
I have a highly engraved Valmet O/U made in Finland
with a 20 gauge set and twelve gauge set of barrels.
Can someone find this in any book? The 412 is in the blue
book but shows nothing about the engraving
is this special with all the engraving?
My father uncle left this to me. How much is it worth.
Please check out the pictures at;

Thanks

    1. First of all --- your "Great" Uncle must have thought the world
    of you. If you have any intentions of selling this shotgun, I
    hope to gosh he comes back to haunt you!!!!!!! I hope you are
    asking for insurance reasons.

    2. I would offer you $1000 without any hesitation for a 20 gauge,
    and 12 gauge barrel set.

    3. I have a 412 in 12 gauge that I picked up because it was a
    "basket case" and after putting it back in shape, it is my
    "second favorite" after my Savage 444.

    4. If your Uncle graced you with a Savage 333 or Savage 444 in 20
    gauge---you should sell it immediately to me!!!!!!!! I will honor
    his memory and say a prayer for him each Sunday.

    Best Regards To You And Yours

    Definitely for insurance. I have never seen one.
    Will probably hand it down myself.

    Thanks

    There was a listing in the June 7 Gun List for Valmet wanted. This person wanted to buy anything related to the 412's. He might have a good idea of what those fine looking guns are worth.

    Sometimes you just cant depend on the 'books.' I have seen only two other engraved 412's, both with that same pattern. Very exquisite guns.

    A two-gauge cased set in top condition would easily retail for $2500-$2750.
