Just as with women, the heart will always go pitter patter at surface beauty. And that's fine, part of the selection process. But as things progress you find out if you're going to be happy in the long run. That's where the head comes in
I just bought a Birmingham single barrel percussion 28ga at auction. Probably paid too much but it has the most wonderfully engraved pineapple in front of the trigger guard that really cuaght my eye. I figured at the very least it's the epitome' of "wallhanger".
Turns out it's in great condition, having some screws redone but it'll be a great piece I can shoot and I'll be happy.
However had it had turned out that it was an unsound gun I would have been a little disappointed but I still would have had that wallhanger.
The heart gets them in the door but the head keeps them dear.
