When I check the auctions, I see H&H large bores gong for upwards of 40,000 pounds only when it was one of Hollands personal guns - even shotguns.

I see most rifles going for around 20,000 or less, soemtimes much less.

Of course, we don't know what the final 'deal' was - perhaps an offer of $15,000 purchased them, we'll never know.

A gun is worth exactly you can get for it.

I will guarantee the Holland 8 bore rifle didn't sell for under 20K US dollars and most likely not under 30K. Using auction prices as the sole parameter for valution for these older guns is near useless, unless you or someone you trust has seen or handled the particular firearm that auctioned.
