I'm no gun nut but that is one fine example of makesmanship. I would only sell it if I was desparate for cash.

My brother in law's father had amassed a large collection of Parker shotguns. He had built a hidden room behind a moving wall of shelves and inside was a workbench and safes for the guns. Upon his death, one of his "friends" conned his widow into selling him the collection for $10K. She had no idea of their real value. The collection of over 25 pristine guns, cases and extra barrels was easily worth $250,000. He had paid over $20,000 for individual guns in that collection and even the cheapest one would have been worth $4,000 but his wife didn't know what he had spent to acquire them or their value. She had no idea what to do with them and my brother in law found out after the fact what she had done. Very sore subject for my brother in law because the "friend" knew exactly what they were worth.I worked for an artist in Flagstaff once. He was mostly gone, on the road, or overseas doing exhibitions, so he let me and one other worker stay in his house. I noticed he had a subscription to "American Rifleman" magazine. When he was around I asked him about it. He said he won a lifetime subscription when he was 15 for winning a national marksmanship competition. Then he showed me his gun collection. I knew (and still know) nothing about guns but I imagine they were probably special. And he had a LOT. He told me he adhered to the old west tradtion- one gun for every window.
