There is that something special that sets a truly beautiful creation apart. Immediately recognisable, most get it, if not all. Sometimes it is the line, sometimes the proportion, like the Golden Rectangle. The e-type Jaguar had it in spade fulls, it was so beautiful that Enzo called it 'the most beautiful car in the world' and commented 'the only thing wrong with it is I didn't make it'.
There are a few double rifles that fit the bill, the Heym 89b, and the Gibbs it was taken from. The barrels could have been 25inches, but 26inchrs is just right.
So what does it for you? Watches, knives, hats, and of course rifles. And yes, cars.

English double guns (shotguns), are in my opinion, the pinnacle of the gunmakers art.
 
Agreed. E-Type is surely on the list along Porsche 911's, the Spitfire, Submariners, Purdey SxS game guns, Loveless drop point knives.
Have you got a post of a loveless?
 
Beautiful car, but it still has POS Jaguar engine.

Hi Kevin,
Maybe you have seen it bust in Pretia E I saw a better than new series land rover 1954
 
Classic firearms, vintage cars, fine Damascus steel, all man made and pure elegance.

On a different tack, the clean wake of our boat running home from a bear hunt is stunning.

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.

Let me know if you are interested
