Very nice. The Bisley and LeMats caught my eye.

Boy Howdy, that 1895 Winny is sure Schweet!
That Lemat is a purty gun as well!

 

[Colts4me]

Love the guns with a history..

Yeah-butt, I like guns for shooting. Not just to look at.

Do you think, as an investment, those guns would appreciate, say, as much as INTEL or Starbucks stock?

Who cares? You can't have a great day out shooting with a double/double mocha latte with extra marshmallows.

Honestly I don't think you would get near the return on those guns as you would a good stock. Sometimes it's just about the having, the owning of a piece of history. Today's young folks don't seem to care so much about history to make the value of collections grow so at some point the collectables will top out in my opinion. However as the economy takes off there will be folks with extra money to spend.

I may be way off here, but to me a valuable collectible firearm wouldn't be one that was all chopped to crap with engraving.

I think I'd be more into the actual Win '73 that Jimmy Stewart used in the movie "Winchester 73". I'm assuming Mr Stewart used the real thing?
