Top three collectors gun ??

Just wandering what doubles that would bee the ultimate gun to collect, from a collectoers point of vue.

I think this would bee my list.

Holland and Holland 600NE (1930's)
J Purdey (400NE 1930's)
Westley Richards (577NE 1930')

I dont know why i tend to like guns from this age. They are suposed to bee of a particular good quality, and they very often are, but I merly find that these guns are very nicly shaped and in very good proposjons.

The H&H 600 must bee the ultimate collectoers item, 14 ever made.(untill recently)
Purdey 400, because it is an extremly well balanced and proposjned gun and I think the 400 caliber is underestiamted. They are rare to begin with and most of these 400's are rechambered to 45-70
WR 577 Just because I love the history of James Sutherland

I have handeled al these guns (including Sutherlands own 577, I tried to bye it but was about 45.000£ short) and If I had to take only one it would have been a long day wating for my decittion.
