Need help puting a value to this shotgun. My dad is moving and would like to sell this over under but we cant seem to find a good market value for it. from what i can see it is a Browning Citori PV(1985?) 153 (not 725?), 28" barrel, 2 3/4" to 3" chamber, made in japan. SN is 07xx02. My google-fu shows values from $700 to $1200. gun is in good condition, normal use marks, no major dings or scratches, no pitting or other rust. (will post pic if needed). Any info would be greatly apreciated.

edit: 725? or pv153 as stamped on barrel, not sure of the difference. The 725 on gun broker looks like the gun in question.

PV designates the year, which would be 1985. 153=12 ga. 3" Gr.1 Hunting model.

Thank you, seems like I'm on the right track as far as year and model. Doesn't seem like there are many of these on the market, hard to find info.
