Interesting question and also why is it that even if a longarm is rare or ultra rare that it is not collectible regarding the masses? I always fall back to Daly, who had the pulse of the American Sportsman and offered them something that the American Sportsman thought they needed in order to be successful, and that including wares for competition as well as hunting. Seems that wild advertising, as well as a little folklore, and a product that delivers are key factors for an item that is coveted, then collected.

Cheers,
