I hope this is all right, I posted this yesterday in the stickied "Stolen Guns" thread and have had...no views at all. If I'm violating a policy, let me know and I'll delete. This is a straight copy and paste from my other post.
Sadly, there is another list of stolen guns to look out for in the Austin/San Antonio, TX area. My father's home was burglarized this past Sunday. To make things worse, we have no serial numbers - there is a list, but it can't be found.
Here's what was lost, from memory, including identifying marks.
Remington sporter 12 ga. pump-action shotgun with dark wood stock/grip. No real identifying marks.
Winchester model 1892 .30-30 with a modern hunting scope on an aftermarket custom mount. I can't remember the model or manufacturer of scope. Bushnell or Tasco probably. Custom scope mount is attached with screws to the left side of the receiver.
Mossberg .410 pump-action shotgun with wood stocks/grip. No real identifying marks on this one.
Winchester model 74 .22 cal semi-auto rifle with dark red walnut stock- some slight custom shaping has been done on the stock.
M-1 Carbine, .30 cal, WWII vintage with "GENERAL MOTORS" manufacturer's stamp on the barrel, with 10 round and 30 round magazines.
"Snake Charmer" .410 single shot pistol-grip shotgun with a broken trigger guard. This is the original Snake Charmer, not the current re-issued model. Natural metal finish with black plastic pistol grip/short stock.
Antique (100+ year old) Mossberg 12 ga. single shot shotgun - well kept, but obviously ancient. Has not been fired in at least 40 years.
PISTOLS - - - - -
Llama model III-A.380 ACP semi-auto pistol with holster and spare magazine. Small spot of rust on the right side of the trigger - haven't had the opportunity to have that sanded and refinished. Missed a fingerprint once while I was cleaning it for him.
Colt .38 Special, 3" barrel with holster. Third generation Detective Special, short barrel, shrouded ejector pin, wood grips with Colt badges. Front post sight has a spot of white liquid paper on it for visibility.
Charter Arms Explorer II .22 Automatic pistol with scope and two magazines. Blued, not stainless. Rear sight on pistol is damaged.
Two matched Tanfoglio .25 ACP automatic pocket pistols with spare magazines, one with a storage case.
Hi Standard Sentinel R-101 9-round .22LR revolver w/3" barrel. Made in 1958. Also has a spot of liquid paper on the front sight.
Replica Colt Navy model 1849 cap-and-ball revolver with unfinished wood grips. Kit gun.
Replica percussion cap musket with light honey-colored wood stock and a pair of matching percussion cap dueling pistols with honey-colored wood grips. Early 19th century style.
I'm hoping if one of these is spotted in a pawn shop (it'll be a couple of weeks before any that are pawned might be made available in the shops) there will be one or two others with it to make a positive ID more likely. At least that's the hope...
Also missing are a Framus classical guitar from the early '50s and a Harmony H-62 archtop electric hollow body guitar with "starburst" finish from the late '50s, for what it's worth.
Yes, they stole his guns and they stole his guitars. There's a country song in there...but we'd rather just have dad's property back.
