A neighbor down the street asked me to take a look at her late husband’s firearm collection and try to find out exactly what is taking up an entire room in her house. I started digging and have come up with 20 long arms and 10 pistols all in great shape and most in mint condition and LOTS of reloading equipment and supplies. Mostly WWI and WWII era some custom stuff. In Worn leather case I found a .375 double rifle with lots of really great engraving (can’t figure the maker). So the advice part is what to do with it all? I told her the ballpark amount she could get if she sold it all, but she said that “Henry†wouldn’t like that. I asked if she would be interested in donating items to museums and such. I asked if her kids or grandkids would like to have any of Henry’s guns and her reply was that none of the seem to be interested in that stuff or would sell it as soon as they could. She really doesn’t feel like keeping it there till it rots to dust because so much of her husbands time and life was put into caring and shooting those firearms. Gents and ladies, this old gal is tuff as nails but doesn’t have a lot of friends, except me the Mrs. and a few others her age, and I really afraid of steering her wrong or not seeing another option after it’s too late. ANY and I mean ANY advise or ideas would be welcomed
She offered me the .375 for my trouble. I said no, but I said that I would like the Colt 1911 with the "property of the Army" stamp, if she didn’t mind. Her reply “that’s Henry’s favorite he would love for you to have itâ€. Ever see a grown man cry?
Thanks
