It seems the finest,read expensive, creations of man go to people who usually,it seems, tend to be able to hang on to them and pass them on to heirs who do the same.I had the pleasure of seeing a Kornbrath model 12,Fugger Springfield and a Griebel Mauser all at once but they are in a collection that probably won't be seen again during my lifetime.The same with fine watches,knives,furniture,etc.
I cite the Czars Parker as an example.
