That comes close to "hens teeth" for rarity. Price will probably go a lot higher.

Will the 15.5" barrel be a problem?
Got up to $1700 though. I've never seen one before, so I will take Patrick's word as to the rarity factor.
Kirk, no problem with the short barrel. It is an antique manufactured before 1898 but more importantly, since it is a breech loader, no ammunition is commercially (readily) available for it. Were it a 12ga. shotgun, short barrels would be a problem as you can go to any store selling ammo and get 12ga. shells for one.
