Spa luigi franchi brescia 12 ga what is it worth?

Answer 1

Pre 1990 Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun 12 Models are the most valuable. If it has the Folding Stock and Extended Magazine for 8+1 Rounds, If it has a Push Button Safety instead of the Lever action and the Proofing Mark ahead of the Loading Port on the bottom of the receiver stamped with the older date code it can sell anywhere from $1200.00 used upwards of $2500.00 as still new in the box.

Many more were imported into the USA from 1990-1994 as the Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun. These are not collector models with the Fixed Stock and limited Magazine Tubes. The Proofing Mark will show manufacturing of 1990-1994 They are the restricted versions and are less valuable. Like a governed Dodge Viper in equality. They can run anywhere from $1000.00-$1300.00 on average sales online. Check gunbroker.com on past auctions for average sales patterns to verify.

One last type the SPAS-12L was produced for Law Enforcement and was imported into the USA until 1994. The SPAS-12L have all options with the Folding stock and High Magazine Capacity. They price and sell for the same as the Special Purpose Model 12's.

In 2000 Franchi stopped production of the SPAS-12 models and the Factory Price for the world market besides the USA was around $1500.00 each for retail. Less than 5% of the Franchi production entered the USA before being banned twice.
