Thanks for your replies

Hope you all get an old long box under the tree



I understood that was what you were inquiring about. I, however, don't agree that everything that is not modern is vintage, if I understood you correctly. If we go by the definition of the word, vintage would carry with it the implication that, in addition to old, it was the best of a person or company's work. If we simply use "vintage" in place of "old" have we not cheapened the meaning of it, by definition?

Interesting discussion, SRH

May God bless America and those who defend her.

Vin + Age;
Vin = Wine, Age of course is how old. That's Vintage. It can be this years Vintage or it could be a century old Vintage or any other year.

As relates to shotguns Vintage is most often MIS-used in an effort to increase prices.

Age for vintage is relevant only when the Vintage is specified as in;

A Committee of Safety Musket is of the Revolutionary War Vintage while an M-16 is of the Vietnam Vintage.

Victorian vintage,Edwardian vintage,pre WWI vintage,between the wars vintage.
When someone says the gun is vintage we should be quick to ask which vintage that is.

Probably the best answer. I was thinking along the same lines myself, as this is often done with regular antiques.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
