I was told by someone that has friends that work for Heym (Germany) that the craftsmen it takes to build these rifles are few and far between, and none of them are looking for a job. I would think it would be a difficult to convince a young person to go into the firearms industry in Europe...
I agree in principle but there has never been more buyers for doubles than today. The reverse is true for collectable winchester rifles. Prices are coming down because the number of buyers are not there anymore, and the folks that own them are aging and estates are getting liquidated. Pre 64...
I think plenty of Heym rifles will hit the market once the buyers for them are able and willing to pay a price that makes sense for a current owner to part with his or her rifle. Value/Price is completely personal. Look at the watch market during covid, used watches sold for more than new...
I had the pleasure of meeting dogcat today to pick up a few guns. This gentleman is top notch, and with any luck maybe our paths will cross once again.
Thank you for your kind hospitality and I enjoyed the visit!!
