An expensive, although tasteful bunny gun.......

That looks like the one that was sold at Holts around 4 years ago together with a .22 rimfire one.
I think I have a pic saved of those 2 guns and might dig them up later on.

Okay, while I love small bore doubles (and shoot my Webly 250 Savage a lot) $45,000 for a Hornet boxlock, no matter what the condition? So, I know I'm gonna get spanked for saying this, bit are they smoking crack there, or am I missing something? Dave

I did think the picture I saved was a bit bigger...and no it is not the same gun.

Yes at that price they are crack smokers!

I'd say a very high price!
Especially with the straight grip stock, this gun could be the model for so many of the shotgun to rifle conversions we're seeing nowdays, particularly a smallbore.
I would think this gun with an extra set of 410 or 28ga. barrels, factory cased, and all original wouldn't command a pricetag near what they are asking.
