    Remington 1100 engraved by Robert p runge

    So first off I'm new to the forum, so hello.... But I was given a Remington 1100 factory engraved by Robert P. Runge. It is immaculate and has 2 extra barrels. It has gold in lay in the engraving and everything. It's nice! My dilemma is that I like to shoot my guns, and I believe this should be a collectors item. Never been shot. So my question is do you know what something like this would be worth? Is it something I should sell in an auction? Or try to post it here on the forum?

    Remarkable Remington Factory Custom Shop Robert P. Runge Signed Master Engraved and Gold Inlaid Remington Model 1100 Premier F Grade Semi-Automatic ShotgunProduced in 1979, the Premier, or F, grade was exclusively the product of the Remington Custom Shop, with masterfully hand-fitted components and superb embellishment. A product of unquestionable skill and dedication, the embellishment alone on an inlaid F Grade represents two weeks of attention from a master artisan. This particular example is signed by Robert P. Runge, master engraver. Robert Phoenix Runge started his engraving career with Parker Brothers, moving to Remington along with his father in 1934, retiring in 1979 to work on the restoration and embellishment of vintage Parker shotguns. White front and nickel mid bead sights, with a Remington Special Skeet choke, three line address and patent dates on the right side of the barrel, and the 2 3/4 inch chamber markings on the reverse. At the rear of the barrel is a 6 1/4" long section of fine scroll engraving, which extends forward to envelop the markings with decorative panels and terminates with a leaf border pattern. The receiver shows over 97% coverage of fine scrollwork, leafy vine border designs, a dog's head on the underside of the trigger guard, and a leaf design on the rear of the operating handle. A set of two banners are present on the left side, with "Remington MODEL 1100-SF" in the center, and the serial number on the right. Each side shows a three-panel game scene with golden inlays; a woodland scene on the left, with a pheasant and woodcock in flight in each of the side panels and 2 dogs (and the Runge signature) in the center, and the right side has a similar arrangement, with a grouse and quail in flight. Fitted with an extra fancy high grade walnut stock, featuring sharp checkering on the extended beavertail forearm and straight wrist, integrating spade and flare patterns into the border lines, a smooth black grip cap, an untouched gold inscription panel on the underside, 13 3/4" pull and serrated Remington buttplate.

            +1 - a lot bigger audience. Auction houses will market in their catalog but not sure if you can have a reserve price. It's pretty cheap to list on gunbroker and you can set a reserve.

                  Welcome, I'd list it here on calguns for whatever the highest price you ever heard it was worth. Plus what you pay in taxes and DROS fees. Thats what everybody else does. This definately isn't the place you find great deals. More like auction prices.
