What fun to read all the different stories and philosohies of gun accumulations/collections and what it all means to each of us. I can almost picture us in a large dimly lit room with trophies hanging on the wall, a big fire going in an even bigger fireplace talking through this topic.
I for one am an eclectic accumulator. As mentioned before by one of you, I tend to go for things I find different and interesting. I also like the challenge of bringing back to life a gun that fed families, or deserves a second chance. Provenance is very important to me, it's half the story of a shotgun. I have an old Parker hammer gun with 32" barrels. It came with a flame maple stock and a walnut forend. I wonder what stories that gun might have.
