I think he's correct but just look at the sell price in the last couple years.As Dean said the guns are two different animals but the repro's are getting legs now and creeping up in price quicker.I suspect it will top out soon.
I like both and own both but when holding an original I think of what that gun has done and seen in the last 100 plus years.The repro I get to make those memories for myself and whomever follows.Holding a gun and using a gun that's been around for over a 100yrs is thrilling.

In the same auction where the Repro .410 sold for $16,500, an original VHE sold for $30,000 plus the buyer's premium. The auction was Poulin's, just concluded.

Bill, that was a .410 VHE?
