Comparing fine art like paintings with international market devoid of special regulations is not good analogy for market pertaining to firearms. As I said when it comes to old guns one must choose wisely to have something that retains or increases in value. I have shown you one example of a gun that is a safe bet. Contrary to common belief the 12ga SxS market isn't "flat", stale or struggling but one must pick the right "needles out of the haystack". A haystack that is going to get bigger and bigger in foreseeable future.
