If there was somebody that was into Steampunk culture and shooting, that would be the gun for them as a must have. Very Victorian and ornate. The trigger guard and awning style pistol grip rivals some of the metal work you would see in the New Orleans French Quarter. That is definitively a very interesting and cool looking gun that would be fun to own and shoot.
I think Germans and main land Europeans really embraced the it can do it all mentality of 16 gauge. I remember reading this article from Gun Digest and found it again. In US the skeet shooters disenfranchised the 16 gauge and I think they should pay some sort of restitution towards our ammo cost. 16 gauge has been discriminated against and deserves some sort of class action protection from gun industry, or not.
