Recently, I had at my liesure the opportunity to handle/inspect two double rifles. One a modern $200k Holland, and the other a vintage Holland ( different calibre).
The Modern was beautifully engraved and its maufacturing processes were faultless. Essentilaly it was made by an Engineer, and finished by a gunmaker.

The difference in price/value was around $140K

The modern double lacked "Soul", if thats the word, whilst the vintage item ozzed Soul, Character, History, Provenance and Hand craftsmanship.

Had I had the free choice of either,to walk away with, then I would have selected the vintage.

Technology advances will have NIL affect on vintage values, or the demand for same. If anything they will serve to enhance the appeal of vintage equivalents .

Legislation. Not sure this holds much water either. Today as gun owners we live with some of the toughest laws ever in terms of gun legalisation . In spite of this, demand and prices continue to rise.

Best
Eric
