The current edition of Blue Book of gun values has them as:

        grade K    & KD    $1,500 in 95% condition down to $100 in 10%

        grade KE & KED $2,200 in 95% condition down to $$250 in 10%

I hunt with and like the old SxS's and would be interested in looking at it, determining a price and maybe buying it. I live near 6 Flags and will PM my phone number.

Middletown but I get around

Whomever buys it just be aware you can not use modern shells! It will blow up in your face as it’s not meant to handle modern pressures. RST sells low pressure loads that can be used with the gun through.

I have a standard model 1900 I love, bought really cheap at Cheyenne. They are really well balanced good pointing guns. GLWS

They are s fluid steel barrels and it will handle the pressure but jimmy is right you should use low pressure rounds if your gonna use 2-3/4 inch shells only because they were chambers for 2-5/8   But 2-3/4 work fine 

[JimmyScags]

Smitty, sorry if I misspoke. I brought mine to an old gunsmith to have it checked out and he put the fear of God into me about it. Lol I know they came with several different barrels so that may have just been the type of barrels on mine.

[smittty]

You did not misspeaks It just that the fluid steel barrels are rare that year but the gun is still chambers for a 2-5/8  it will shoot 2-3/4 fine and if you are gonna be useing 2-3/4 you should go with a low pressure shell

Too bad no pictures:-(

2-3/4 shells can be shot in smaller chambered guns but you are better off using 2-1/2 inch shells. They are readily available and work just as well on small game. Your old classic shotguns deserve and will appreciate the lower pressures from the smaller shells.

[RPK0620]

2 ¾" shells in 2 ⅝" or 2 ½" chambers do not open fully causing excess pressure which is not good and it increases recoil as well.

Buy RST low pressure shells in 2 ½" and you will be good to go.
