All fascinating stuff Farmer but can you give me the Web addresses of The Purdey owners Club or the Holland and Holland owners club or may be the Boss etc. Not the type of thing done when you have a pair of guns in one leather case easily transported costing new upwards of a hundred thousand pounds. If you look at the post again you will see the suggestion was a London Gun owners club and finally some hundred year old plus guns made by London makers can be worth a fortune compared with guns built say twenty years ago. Someone somewhere own the pair of guns belonging to Winston S Churchill just to name one famous person, now put a value on them if they ever came up for sale they may have even belonged to his farther Randolph which puts them in the one hundred year category, you cannot make blanket statements about guns and value.
