Hi, all. A friend of mine wants to buy a double barrel shotgun for his next door neighbor as a thank you for helping him through a rough time. The target price range is between $1K and $2K. He wants it to be a "quality beautiful old shotgun." My friend doesn't have any preference on gauge or barrel length, O/U or S/S. The tough part is that the neighbor collects old shotguns. I don't have any knowledge of the neighbor's collection, so I'm really flying blind here. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've spent some time looking at Gunbroker, but since my shotgun expertise is limited to Remington 870s, I don't really know what would be a good choice. If I had to provide a recommendation this very moment, I'd suggest making an offer for $2K on this Beretta (https://www.gunbroker.com/item/975248587).
If anyone who is more knowledgeable about old double barrels has a suggestion, I'd greatly appreciate it.
