T/River..Fat Tom...others..
What do you think the old Berns-Martin is worth ?
It is for a 27 3.5 inch.
Thanks in advance,
Howie

If the stitching is tight and the leather is supple without cracks, then I would hazard a guess at $150 and up.

Just my .02 guess

Yes, every bit of that if not more. Is it Calhoun City Mississippi or Elberton, Georgia ? Rear snap in good working condition ? Any flaws ? I know a couple of forum members that would like to have one like it.
Regards,

I don't recall the barrel lengths but I seem to remember a couple floral-carved BM rigs for N-frames sold on eBay over the winter for around $200 each.

I'll agree with previous posters as to value. The missing snap doesn't help,but if you know someone who could replace it,I would. At least it's the rear snap and won't show the repair. That's a nice one Howie!
