The last Asprey Shotguns were sold at Christie’s in London Wednesday for over $120,000.
The 200-year-old London London luxury goods firm Asprey stopped making Shotguns back in 1996. The final pieces were made when the company was acquired by Prince Jefri of Brunei. Both Prince Charles and George Bush both own Asprey shotguns similar to the ones featured in the sale.
The shotguns feature beautiful artisan engraving and woodwork, and would look fantastic in a dimly lit room with taxidermied animal torsos hanging on its wood-panelled walls.

… and you’re sure, they “hang it on the wall” and will not shoot each other?
I like such woodworks, although I would not like to have a Shotgun. I think, that’s because I’m a woman
