WOW! Most A-5 i've seen for sale that are belgiums are going for $1000+. Almost double that if it's a Sweet Sixteen. My dad just turned down $1500 for his 1953 Sweet Sixteen. But it was also his first shotgun back in 1959 and it looks like its been dragged in the dirt for the last 40+ years. Well, it has lol.

Is it serial #1 or something?

Sweet Sixteen's always comand a higher price.

In realestate it's location-location-location.

In guns it's condition-condition-condition!

You shouldn't take $800 or $1000 until you find out exactly what you have There is a good possibility it is worth more.
