Q I have a Beretta Model 1000 black powder O/U which the company made to commemorate its 300th anniversary. The gun has never been fired, and comes with its originally issued case and assorted hardware, sold as a package by Beretta (or at least it was purchased that way). I also have the company's specially printed 1981 anniversary catalog which came with the shotgun.
Could you most kindly inform me of its approximate worth, as well as how I would go about selling it?

given that it has never been fired you can up the price a bit, especially to a serious collector, say $1100 for starters
