Absolutely amazing collection. I appreciate a collection of unusual items. I collect Remington bullet knives with the corresponding ad posters that were released over a 17-year period starting in the early 80's.
In some ways the internet has made collecting much easier. But I wonder if it has devalued the items as well. I remember my wife and I driving over 8 hours to meet a seller and purchase a hard-to-find poster.
Much easier nowadays.
Still, it does not detract from the absolutely stellar collection you have of form, function and artistry displayed with your collection. Kudos.

Not sure anything has devalued IMO. Where access/ease has been increased so has the demand with so many more people being exposed to what's out there with a click of a finger.

I'm not sure I buy some of the claimed numbers from Beeman on a few things. I've owned two of the famed "Jnc" 124s myself and I'm not a collector by any stretch.
I also have a Beeman marked HW55T that appears to be from a different time period with a different checkering pattern than Mike shows. Leads me to believe that they made quite a few more than "25" in more than one run.
Who knows. Either way, they are all still highly uncommon.
No worries on Mike seeing this and being offended, he blocked me a long time ago.

What gems... Thank you for sharing some eye candy with the masses!
Its comforting to know that guns as rare and valuable as these are in the hands of proper collectors that appreciate and put in the proper care for such pieces.

I just ran across a Daisy 777 NIB never shot . I declined ,because i am just a shooter , by that i mean if i had any of the guns displayed i would just shoot them as i do any of my guns . That 777 is some collectors dream .

I don't think the 777(mfg. 1981-1997) fits this thread at all (100 or less)!
All of mine are shot, don't know why people think collectors don't shoot what they own?! I guess some don't but that's sure not me. My first couple of FT matches were shot with an extremely rare HW97 Tyrolean!

A lot of the collectors i talk to at the shows say the collector value is lost if it has been used , Maybe just a ploy to talk the price down ?
