Doesn't have to be the most expensive or rarest but the one you probably would never run across again in your life without some serious dedicated searching for that specific make or model. May also be because of condition.

Winchester 42 with full choke in very good condition.
For sentimental value, the Ruger GP100 my men gave me when I retired, to replace the duty weapon I turned in. They even took my Hogue grips off the duty revolver and installed them on the new one. Dang good men I served with. |

Either my 1915 model Stevens Favorite or my Marlin Model 50. 5000 model 50s were made in the early 30s. I'd guess a few hundred still exist.
My favorite is the most sentimental. |

FN fs2000
Production is discontinued. On the occasion one is up for sale on gunbroker, the asking price is about double what I paid 15 years ago. My salty weapons are grandfathered where I am located behind enemy lines in a ban state, however I cannot legally replace these things here in the event of fire or theft. |

Ruger Standard, Red Eagle Pistol. Type VIII (the one they made a bunch of, for that model). 1951 date. Nice. I see how Bill got rich doing this.
Or a 1960s vintage sidearm Anshutz air rifle. Which I need to get repaired. Everything else is rather ordinary but functional. The Xesse and the RIA Match get better and better. Starting to keep half of the Xesse's in the 10s and 1/3 of those in the Xs. Work in progress. Bullseye is hard. |

Nothing I have is particularly hard to find. I guess it might be the Western Field branded Mossberg 500, just because it might be kind of hard to dig one up (although not a case of rare = valuable).

Marlin Ballard Pacific model in 40-85 built in 1889-1890. Curved receiver and pistol grip stock is extremely rare. One of four or five known at this time and the only one of those with a half round / half octagon barrel.

I don’t imagine I have any that are real hard to replace in some form. The challenge would be for the price I paid.
P7 I’ll just pay out the nose. Colt ANVIII might take a minute to find. Actually, I built three rifles that would be difficult to replace. I have a slab side Yugo M70 underfolder with original barrel. I could get something close, but not exactly. And the Israeli FAL would be challenging, since kits are gone. The Romy AK would be pretty easy though. But none are collector pieces. |
