Actually he seems to acquire and get rid of things the way many of us do, just on an inconceivably expensive level, so both MDMNM and I are right on what his taste is like: eclectic.
“I start out with a fairly broad spectrum – got obsessed, then engulfed, and finally narrow the collections down.
“I built a gunroom that can house a certain amount of guns, and now I have to clear the decks for the new guns I have on order."
Here are a couple of classic Bosses (I think I would have kept one!) and a rather gaudy Evans.

Interesting to see 'the gun that taste forgot' for sale.I've heard of it before but never seen it. I wonder who will buy it?

Clapton also owns Cordings "Country Sporting Outfitters" on the north side of Piccadilly. They stock beautiful ,mainly British, handmade clothing , shooting suits ,socks , and the like, at huge prices , but often in rather garish, gaudy colours. A "first stop look", when the sales are on, for any shooter in London

Well every day's a school day!
I quite like their tweeds as I'm firmly in the 'leery-er the better' camp when it comes to sporting atire.

Funny - I still have the same old ugly LC Smith from 1947 you saw me with last meeting...this could mean I am either broke or satisfied or both!
For what it's worth, I know that three readers of this blog shoot plain old LC 12's. and I can't say that about any other old American maker.
No, maybe Fox too.
