Super Fox questions

[coues]

I have an opportunity to look at, and possible purchase a Super Fox in the next few weeks. I am not new to double guns and own a few Foxes but thought I would never run into a SF locally.
The asking price is $5000, which I am guessing is in the ballpark for a SF. I realize that condition is everything when determining value so I would like members thoughts on what might be something that could be of concern on SF’s, and that I should look for.
Unfortunately I need to make a decision on the day we meet as the seller has always stated a price and if you dilly dally he puts the gun away and is never brought up again.
He states the gun is in great condition and from past purchases he has always been accurate in his description.
I plan on taking my bore gauge and take a few measurements.
Here are a few other questions. Are 32” barrels and 3 inch chambers for desirable? Was there years of manufacturing that are more desirable?
Did SF have factory pads? Any particular markings beside the H I should look for?
Any information so I can better evaluate the gun is appreciated.
I realize there is a lot of different information on the internet I can and have read, but I am more comfortable taking advice for or members.
Thanks Phil

$5K is cheap money for a righteous Super.

Aside from overall condition, unmessed with chambers and chokes are the litmus test that it needs to pass to enhance the value. Silvers has had special gauges made to do an accurate assessment.

There are lots of other variables. Is it a rare graded Super, 2 3/4 inch vs3 inch? Barrel length? Correct stamping?

There are others way more competent than I am who will probably chime in soon.

A SF with 32” barrels and 3” chambers will command a higher price. However, I’ve shot a lot of ducks with mine and I’ve never used 3” shells. Just something to consider.
