I suppose what you are saying that only you and others of like views taste is all that matters. You are certainly allowed to have that view but it does not have to apply to all. I personally don't like decorated guns period but that again is a personal view and I don't set myself up as the judge of values for all. All people are not collectors and beleive it or not all gun owners do not believe the art of gunmaking stopped with the British. Those,of course,are personal opinions as are the others presented on this forum. You are certainly entitled to yours as I am to mine.

Since you expressed your incomprehensible opinion so forcefully, I don't think it's too much to ask that you answer the question:

So if YOU found an original pre-war Holland & Holland .500/.465 Royal that had been "restored" or "upgraded" with a thumbhole stock, and the barrels cut to 18 inches and Magna Ported, you'd pay the $80,000 asking price? Right?

I ask because it seems to me that my question fairly characterizes your expressed opinion. Hey, I'm just trying to understand.
