Does anyone have any idea of a realistic value for a set of 20 Ducks Unlimited matching numbered (#0039) collection of guns ranging from a 1973 Rem. 1100 12 ga. to a 1987 Browning a-5 12 ga? Has anyone ever heard of similar sets?

I've never heard of this, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen! That sounds like one hell of a collection. Do they all have the duck head logo stamped on?

Thanks for the offers, unfortunately, I'll need a little more. Just trying to get a feel to see if any other similar sets are out there. Offers are welcome though!
Are these the commercial models or the "Dinner Guns"? I would say the dinner guns would probably be worth 10 times as much based on rarity and numbers produced, and what they originally 'sold' for. I saw a BPS go for $2400 at the dinner and the over the counter model was maybe $300 back then.

These dinner guns in the order you describe are very valuable. Be careful. DO NOT jump into this too fast. There is a great deal of $ involved to the right buyer. my advise, go slow, get informed. Me? " My cold dead hands"....if you know what I mean. Are they unfired?
If you must, start by calling DU national and asking for someone in thier gun dept. Or maybe the NRA national office. If you can find a couple of high end gun auctioneers, speak to them as to thier experience. Please go slow brother! Don't let anyone one near them untill you now what youre doing.

I think you should donate them to the NRA museum here in Alexandria VA. You can take the hit as a tax right off and save a ton of money plus you will know that they are going to be taken care of.
