RoninPhx,
They truly can be made into extremely nice pieces and the Browning is no doubt a classic, but for purely practical reasons, I carry one of Gaston's lightweight blasters.
The Belgian HP does have some serious style points though!
Rockchucker,
Your HP is a fine looking example.
I am going to venture a guess and say that the old guns like these are going to see some pretty steady price increases over the next 10 years or so. Kind of like old N frame S&Ws.
Just a hunch.
