In 30 years it will be 2148 - let's round it up to 50 years from now.
What may be interesting is not the well made stuff available today - tomorrows Webleys - but the cheapo CO2 pistols (for example). Most are not built to last - trust me I have quite a few and they all fail if you use them heartedly. So - in 50 years time a mint boxed Umarex Walther PPKS (for example) which costs about £120 now could be worth the latter day equivalent of £600 or even more as all of the others died many years ago.
