NorfolkAYA Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 What guns do people think will appreciate as time goes on. Obviously your purdeys, holland's etc but I'm talking mid range market. Regards Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-dot Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) I have 3 B25's since 1993 in various grades and they took a knock big time during the recession and have not recovered. Now hard to sell as no one borrows money on guns unlike pre 2009. Not one bit of interest in this most beautiful gun. https://www.gunwatch.co.uk/guns/17000-Browning-B25-C12-for-sale Edited July 28, 2017 by Red-dot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkAYA Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I don't really have a budget at the moment I'm just thinking long term. I would love a English side by side to use on the rare game days I do and something I can pass onto my son but at the same time I don't want a couple of grand gun sat in my cabinet. Ideally a 12g too Regards Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBlox Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Baikals - because they will definitely be around in 3000 years time. Come the nuclear apocalypse the world will be ruled by Baikal wielding cockroaches (who will be getting calls on their mobile phones about PPI claims).

sishyplops Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I don't see many mid range guns becoming collectable to the extent of increasing in value, I do see them holding money and maybe making a little, old English guns maybe but a can of worms f you don't know what you're doing I have a 325 grade 6 30", I don't think it will make much but certainly it will hold its value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ips Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 My DT seems to have held its value since bought new in 2012 (at a greatly reduced price off rrp) and the 687eell bought as a sleeper two years ago (ish) is worth the same. One can but hope that they increase either way money in bank makes nothing so may as well have it in the cabinet 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 My 2 haven't... Sell them tomorrow and we will see😂 There's a very long term plan here and it merely takes the stroke of a government pen to make them all worthless I have a small collection not for investment but for enjoyment and pleasure of ownership I also use them for there purposes If they hold there purchasing price I shall be very happy when there time comes to part with them Just enjoy your gun for what it is Only my thoughts All the best Of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I remember buying a new Browning B2G 30" trap gun back in the 70's for £415.00. Problem is , I didn't have the wit to hang on to it. Those were the days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I would suggest a 16g or 20g Hammer gun with Damascus barrels from around the 1880 - 90's - must be English, a well known maker and cased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
