I've got three family "keepsake" guns that I wouldn't trade for the Parker Czar gun, the Nash Buckingham Bo-Whoop gun, or all the Parker hammer guns in my collection ... My Grandfather's 1913 Remington Model 11, My Dad's Sears Ranger (Savage) 20 gauge double barrel, and a Coast to Coast Hardware (Marlin) 22 semi-auto rifle ... I had Grandpa's Model 11 completely redone by the old-world German craftsmen at Chicago Gun Center as a gift to my Dad over 35 years ago and it still looks better than any Browning A5 I've ever seen ... My Dad taught me to shoot and hunt with the Ranger 20 gauge double barrel ... And Dad loved Hasenpfeffer so shot cotton tail rabbits out the back window of his new house in the country after he and Mom retired ... So what price could I possibly put on guns with so many great family memories ? ... There just isn't a price, they're priceless ! ... And so is your Uncle's old hammer gun ... So just hang on to it ... and cherish the memories it represents.
