Wonder if new prices will go up 113% again over the next decade? From 66K pounds to 141,600 pounds. I just can’t see much of a market for 250,000 + pound doubles. As noted in the article there seems to be an increasing flow of quality guns hitting the market. I think the dumping of well maintained guns will moderate prices as our generation ceases hunting and decides to sell now while prices are good.
I suspect like here, a few collections are being broken up as collectors age or pass on. Follow on generations seem to have little interest is our archaic interest and are happy to sell for whatever cash they can get. Sad really as some really outstanding collections are being broken up. In my case I have given each of my kids a dozen or so guns already and don’t expect them to want more than one or two more of what I have now after I’m dead. So what’s left will be sold off for what the market will bear. As I will ge dead it won’t matter to me anymore.
