I have the
Opportunity to purchase the captioned firearm, what would be a fair price new in box with paper work'. How good is this gun. I looked on GB and did not see one..

Italian made, Uberti, replica, single actions. Have been imported for almost 50 years.

The engraving would be the only thing affecting the value, over and above any other Uberti. Post some quality photos. Maybe one of our folks, would care to venture a opinion. Regarding the engravings affect on the value.

Uberti made Stoger imported were photo etched/laser (Teddy Roosevelt edition which I have in .45 LC) and I thing Uberti made Taylor ones were engraved (hand or machined?). I recall Taylor's "TR" were in the $1200-$1300 range and the engraving did look better. So if you like the caliber and can get the price down to $1K it might be a good buy.

Couldn't tell you what a hand engraved version would go for.
