Great post. I hate to think what one of those sells for. ...edit: Wiki suggests around 60,000 pounds ($AU 160,000) with a 2-3 year wait...
Timeless craftsmanship.I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Probably more than a top line BMW! That is an amazing video, thanks for posting the link Schtoo. 
It's wonderful to know that craftspeople are still trained to do that sort of work by hand.

At about 300,000 bucks (131,000 pounds) I'l take a Royal Double Rifle.

CheersIf you never made a mistake, you never made anything!
