    Although I have heard of your Cosmi, I can't help you on a value. Try posting on: trapshooters.com

    They have numerous shotgun appraisal experts who might be able to help.

    WOW you have one of the masterpieces of design, engineering, & workmanship, when it comes to Shotguns so few of these change ownership that it is hard to place a value. However let me suggest you DON'T try to sell at this time Collector firearm prices have been hit hard [:(]in the last 6 months . IMHO they will recover. [:)]

    welcome to the boards![:)]
    3 to 5 grand.
    sell it. it kicks harder than a mule and is WAY overated. stocks crack. loading jams are common and you have to have an engineering degree to figure out the loading sequence without screwing up the bolt positioning. i sold both of mine and was glad i did.

    These are over 10000 new with about a year wait so there is a good demand. I sold one a while back for about 4500. I still have an engraved one. They are clearly the most sophisticated semi auto made as you can tell by looking at the action. Lots of European and Russian royality have them . Not a gun for the average guy. I sold mine and bought a model 21 not as much of a COOL factor as the Cosmi gets all kinns of looks at the skeet or clays range

    FACTORY ANSWERING

    Hello, i apologize for my late answer, but i could't reach this website before. Whatever you decide to do with your Cosmi shotgun, here there are some tips for it's perfect functioning:

    - check the recoil spring (the long one under the barrel), the recoil spring must be changed after long usage and must match the weight of the shells u shoot (under 28grams use the light spring, 32 to 36 grams use the medium spring, up to magnum cartridges use the strong spring). It takes about 3 minutes to change a spring. In this way the recoil will be correctly muffled and the shotgun will not kick hard. If u don't have any extra recoil spring, contact us and we will provide to send you the one you need;

    - don't forget to clean the shotgun to make the action work correctly;

    - use only engine car oil (AGIP SINT 2000 or similars) to clean the shotgun, NEVER guns oil;

    - for any other information contact us: Cosmi Americo e figlio snc, via Flaminia 307, 60126 Ancona - Italy, phone 0039 071 888208, email cosmi@cosmi.net ; tell us the serial number of your shotgun and we will send you the manual for free.

    Thank you for your attention.
