We just saw a demonstration in the US with one of the founders of the Benjamin Rifle Co. and quite a few of his collectable guns. They sold them over a couple weeks on the bay and got really very high valuations. I have seen large collections recently being sold on Gunbroker auction site. Since these site virtually reach everyone one in the world it's hard for me to see fair values not being realized if an estate needs to liquidate. I will probably let my son know he can keep them or sell them via one of these sites. The trouble with a static record is that values can change a lot in 10 years. The collectables we love and bid up may be of less interest to a internet world interested in the latest and greatest? For me I'm 65 and having a lot of fun with this hobby. There are a lot worse investments issues I can leave to my hires. Maybe someone in the family will get interested in the hobby.
