With rifles like that, and many others that have been shown on this forum, there just isn't enough comparables to really establish a price in my opinion.

Not too long ago, I had such a gun that I got to thinking about selling. I didn't know what it was really worth, but I decided simply what amount of money would make up for not having it in my safe. It may have been worth a lot more or a lot less, but for me, 6500 portraits of George Washington, or the equivalent thereof was enough to be a fair trade in my book. Someone out there agreed, and so a bargain was struck.

I'm still happy with that price and I hope the new owner is too. Someday, someone will tell me that Joseph Lang double rifle was worth 3 times that to him, or maybe only 1/2 of that, and I'll just shrug because it won't really matter to me. I had my value and so did the buyer. We were happy and the rest of the world??? doesn't matter one bit.

I know a few gun buyers/collectors that are more interested in the deal that the gun. I feel sorry for them actually.
