Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

At that price it better come with hot and cold running hookers, a lifetime supply of beer, and a matched pair of "beer girls" who will instanstly place a cold one in my hand (no matter where I am) when I say "beer, girl'. ;D

That looks just like the matched pair I've got in the back of my gun safe...  or in the backseat of my Jeep.  Gee, I hope they're still there. ::)

The etching is gorgeous, but I absolutely LOVE that bolt handle.
A true masterpiece in wood and steel.

I wonder if it shoots as nice as a $134 H&R Topper?

Probably not, the H&R has a recoil pad.  :P


Gorgeous work on the gun.
At that price no wonder they list Kings and Sheikhs as "fans". They are the only customers!

Some years back, someone sent me a link to some of Eric Clapton's fine English shotguns that went on the auction block.  They were some of the most beautiful guns I've ever seen in print or in person.  Some had never been fired by Eric or anyone else for that matter.

Never followed up on the sale but surely they were sold at ultra high pricing....

If I remember correctly they  wound up selling at about market value No really high (Relatively ) Prices because he isn't dead yet.
If he were dead like TR or Hemingway then the "Clapton's" gun's would be worth more since there would only be X number and never any more, but since he is still alive there is no telling how many more he may buy and sell over the coming years.

Soif you want to REALLY clean up at auction, you buy a celbrity's gun first, THEN use it? ;D
