  2. O/U and single trigger? My my, Kim is slipping in his dottage. About that lottery ticket, invest (snerk!) in the Powerball, it is only up to 1.3 billion today.

  3. It purdy.
    I’d mount it over the mantle, right under my granpappy’s 1917 Winchester model 12 12 ga.

  4. Does a little bit of silver scrollwork and some choice wood stock really make the gun worth that much more?

    2. I think that there is more to that gun than what you described. Sure, the maker’s name and the engraver’s name add to the cost, but the craftsmanship surely counts for much. Look at how the wood meets the metal, and see that the screws are timed. The fit and finish show hours of work done by hand by skilled artisans. This is no mass-produced item.

    3. from Google AI:

      Veblen goods are luxury products, such as designer handbags, sports cars, or fine jewelry, for which demand increases as their price increases. Unlike most goods, which have a downward-sloping demand curve, Veblen goods feature an upward-sloping demand curve because consumers are attracted to their high price, which signals wealth, social status, and high quality through a phenomenon called the “Veblen effect” or “conspicuous consumption”.

      I’m not saying that the shotgun isn’t exquisite or high quality, it certainly looks so. But it’s also the type of gun you buy because you are obscenely rich and just can’t be seen carrying a plebian brand firearm such as a (gasp) Browning. And the price tag is elevated just to make sure no one EVER mistakes a Holland & Holland for some plebe brand. It just wouldn’t do, to be seen like that.
