Generalwar, your list is particularly interesting, Why do you consider new guns with engravings by these masters as in particularly collectible?




During the last 25 years I have bought and sold both vintage and new high end pieces, such as the ones I have listed, and found them to be the most exciting, and profitable. Perhaps others have had different results, but this is my experience with such pieces.

A new Purdey 470 (like this) but with brown brothers engraving can you basicly bye every day (if you have the money and can get a slott inn with the brown brothers and pay them rediculas amount of money to doo the job) I know that they have a long waiting list and doo only a very limited nr a year, but this does only make their signature collectable,though their work is fantastic.




Not true my friend. Here in America a premium is paid for a new high end gun with a well known master engraver. It has to be the right artist with the right canvas so to speak but collectors pay big premiums not to wait. For instance Bob Lee purchased a new Peter Hofer 22 Hornet engraved by Fracassi in Reno this year and paid $420,000USD for it. The gent that had the gun paid $360,000USD just 12 months earlier. Remember these guns are very limited production pieces, and are looked at as much as art, as they are a weapon. I'm referring to the top 1% only.

And why do you consider Grefnee as worth collecting? I have seen a lot of his work and in my view he is just above avarage.




I have to respectably disagree. Griffnee's early work was very good, perhaps even great at times, but not masterful. However, from about 1985 on, he went to a whole new level as seen here on this exceptional Holland 375 exhibition grade. To call Phillip average is a bit of a leap backwards.
