billy-boy Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 hi all I got a line on a 85% 12ga sl80 123 rafaello grade. Its prolly the 1980`s mfg. Upgraded wood is only like one X grade,looks mostly carried,no dents/cracks,some nicks in metal. The tag says 600. What should be the valuation on this here,cant find rafael-O in the bluebook. thanks!! billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukhoi_fan Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Be advised that Benelli no longer supports the SL80 aka the 121 in the way of spare parts. I suggest you take that into account with respect to the 'value' of the piece in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 It's hard to put a value on a gun I can't see, but I'd say that $500-$600 would be fair, if it's in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy-boy Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Thanks all, that BB is the same as mine.The 123V listing, doesnt differentiate between the Urbino marked sl80 I saw for 400., versus the Raffaelo marked sl80 for 600. though. Were these early Rafaello as big a jump in price [over the Urbino] back then as they are now?? Or not so much? These 2 just look like a slightly better wood grade diffrence,the photo etched engraving remains the same. Sayimg that parts are disvontinued,and Im not that hardup on it,what is a cash barganing price I can offer?? thanks again!! Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1014 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 the sl80 123 is a pre 1985 model while the raffaello 123 is a post 1985 model,,a significant mechanical advantage in the post over the pre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy-boy Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) I picked it up after some more research,and going back to the shop 3 more times. Turns out as far as I can tell,it is a super black eagle with rafaello 123 markings. Benelli armi system bolt with the shell drop button on triggerguard. Mfg 1993 BC date coded. It looks like a higher grade model,looks like the one in link pic below. Any idea how much this gun was when new?? Certainly aint no sl80,like the one next to it,and not available in this country as far as I can tell,maybe special order? Imported from Sweden recently. http://www.mxm.ru/oxota/products/19009.jpg where can I get light load parts kit etc?? thanks all Billy Edited October 3, 2009 by billy-boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
