Most collectors are aware that provenance connecting any item with a well known personality [ie: politician, big game hunter, movie star, author, etc;] almost always increases its value as compared to normal retail. This is certainly true with firearms.
I have in my collection a near mint 12G bar-in-wood hammer gun made in 1875 by a well known English gun maker. Makers records show that the original owner was the son of an English Baron. Dose the provenance described above add to the value of the gun?
