Just for fun...
This topic came to mind when I was reading about a pair of Colt Walkers that brought $2.2 million. The dealer was later nailed for using unfair tactics to inflate the bids.
I recall the Holland & Holland double rifle that was gifted to Teddy Roosevelt - he took it to Africa & killed an elephant with it, as did his great-grandson a few years ago. I think perhaps 5 years ago it brought over $1 million at auction.
I wonder what one of T.R.'s .405 Winchesters would bring?
Churchill's 1911 Colt?
Jim Corbett's tiger rifles?
If you know of the values of any megabuck collector's guns, please post - it would be fun to see which one is the most valuable collector gun.
