Eric Clapton Shotgun Auction
Published October 9th, 2008
Auctioneer Holt’s will offer shotguns from Clapton’s collection on 11 December in London. Holt’s describes the guitarist’s items as “fascinating”. Lots include guns made by William Evans, Watson Bros, Holland & Holland and J Purdey & Sons.
63-year-old Clapton took up shooting five years ago and has collected shotguns by some of the great British gunmakers.
He says, “I like a gun to look like a working tool but it’s a magnificent piece of art as well.”
Clapton says he is selling the guns to make space for more.
