Beautiful gun but they were meant to be hunted with.
It (and most) has no collector value. Enjoy it the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

Sage advice from an Expert?
I thought all shotguns were made to be hunted with?
You mean some were made to coddled away and drooled over while Posting or bragging to people?
A great way to demean one of the finest upland shotguns made today.
Nuff said!

Well, I don't know how many 16 gauges he made but I can say that every one of the roughly 75 guns made by Peter Nelson was meant to me coddled away and drooled over. Amazingly, with a initial purchase price well over $200,000, his entire output was bought by just 7 collectors, IIRC. |

That sporting arm is absolutely gobsmacking !
Reminds me of woman who I once knew.
BUT !, it’s W-A-Y too pretty for where I go. And if I have to ask how much it cost I know I can’t afford it. |
