After receiving the latest Julia catalogue, I had to look this up.

Highly unlikely any of his firearms will take up residence at my home smile

Why? Because you don't support his politics, or because you can't afford one?

The Devils with his politics......the estimates on his H&H's and others(less buyer premiums of course) are far outside my budget.

Hi Ken, a friend of mine owns that collection of Big Bores. The Gold inlayed ten Bore is magnificent! I am guessing the estimates are on the low side. The Nizam rifles are only a portion of the Big Bore collection.

Interesting that one of the Nizam's (?) was acknowledged as the wealthiest man in the world at one time. His taste in firearms definitely reflects that!

I'll bet he was shown the red carpet treatment by H&H....
