[sbschindler]

45 @ 28 in very good condition, anybody have an idea of its approx. worth ??

Might put this on the collectors forum, more likely to get some answers.

Are you buying or selling?  Collecting or shooting or both?  

I have a cavalier that I bought in a package deal with another Howatt and a Pearson cougar.  Paid just south of $30 for all three.

wish I could find more deals like that but its probably too much to hope for.  As a shooter, I love it.  In the design department I think it needed a bit more taper in the lam stack or would have benefited from a power lam.  Mine shows signs of stress in the first couple inches of the face lams.

as far as collector value I'm clue less but do find old Howats too stylish to resist.
