Interesting discussion—this is a good example of how the vintage double gun market doesn’t always follow “common sense” pricing. That Churchill selling at £1,300, even below modern replacement cost, really shows how buyer demand and market timing matter more than original value.

A few things stand out to me: overseas auctions (like Holt’s) can still offer strong value, even after import costs, and condition/details matter a lot more than the name on the gun.
