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.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
