"Lose their history and leave the district"? That just means you would not be a part of the transaction, it would seem. What about all the British guns that get sold to people out of the country? Are they losing their history because they are sold out of the country? And maybe the dealer doesn't understand the "arcane" tradition of double guns like you do, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. And I am a little sentimental. Maybe you don't see all that many guns over there like that with any regional history at all, especially with ties to the UK. I don't mean to pick on you personally but I think all too often we (gun nuts) perceive ourselves as uniquely qualified to advise people on ownership of nice guns; as if we are truly the cognoscenti--"those who know" and are a cut above other less fortunate individuals who haven't "read the book", the poor heathens. I say BS. We choose to know something about fine guns because we enjoy learning, and sharing the knowledge. Get involved with the deal if you can do so fairly to all people involved; but please don't do so just because you think you are uniquely qualified to be the proper guardian of the guns' prevenance.
