Hey guys, I got a gun that I am thinking of selling. It is a very nice over/under Pietro Beretta Gardone V.T. Brescia BL-1 12ga. 2-3/4" - 28" F/M. Thats what it says on it anyway. I have no idea on its value. All I know is my grandfather bought it for my dad in the 60's. Anybody here know what I could get for such a gun? Is it worth anything?

If it's what I think it is they can run anywhere from $350 to nearly $700 depending on condition. Does it look like this?
I sold a couple of these in my days working at a Pawn Shop in Rogersville, the highest I sold one for was $625 and it was in really, really, really nice shape.
This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

Pietro Beretta Gardone V.T. Brescia is just the company, BL-1 is the model, and of course 12 is the gauging, 2-23/4 relates to the ammo and choke size, and it's a 28" barrel.
They are really good shotguns, very nicely designed, and can be hard to come by sometimes. I'd keep it if I were you, especially being a generation gun.
All prices are USD of course, don't know about canadian. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I could.

Yes it looks exactly like that one. So not worth a whole lot then. I may as well keep it. I was hoping it was worth a lot. I have no use for it. This one has hardly been used and is in very nice shape.

Sounds like Chazz has some really good input there... If its not worth alot, and comes from family, I would keep it... (IMHO) Every gun I have, I have bought with the intentions of never selling them. Maybe I am weird in that thinking...
No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

I have a buddy that uses one for a trap/turkey gun. he seems to like it..... check out Cableas price guide if your really interseted on the price. I'd keep it if it was passed down through the family, anything that was my grandfathers is like gold to me even if it's a plain jane model

I have a very early 50s model Fox B side-by-side that belonged to my great grandad, never selling. I still have the first gun I ever shot, an old 6 shooter, that also belonged to him. His .243 as well. All of these will be passed down to my children one of these days.

Here is another benifit of having an old gun is most likely it isn't registered. They can't take it from you if they know you don't have it....Priceless

guns are something that you can have your whole life and get attached to sentimentally. Like an old truck or trike.
You may not have a use for it but maybe try using it one day by just shooting some targets or clays.
can start out as a fun small hobby and turn into a life style.
being the gun has been in the family already gives it some history, add some more history and keep passing it down.
thats what I plan on doing. bought a new gun and it already has some history to it. good and bad memories, it can be the loyal tool that never quits.
