Re: AJ, I was told I should contact you about this.

The prices I see range from $110 up to $450. Since it needs work, I would say it would be between $150 and $200 range. This is of course without seeing it.

Here is a little more background info on the gun:

It was indeed Winchester's first semi auto shotgun. It was indeed produced between 1911 adn 1921 with some production between 1921 and 1928. Winchester made 103,246 of these guns. The gun had design problems and was named the "Head Buster". The biggest problem with this gun was it could not have any of John Browning's A-5 patents so the gun was pretty much a flop.

Sorry I don't have much more info on the gun.
