had a friend whose brother was a officer (i forget capt or lt) in a city police department- and was at one of those buy backs

an old lady came in with a pair of colt saa she said belonged to her great uncle who was a buffalo soldier. He asked if he could put the woman in touch with a licensed collector - the guns were a piece of history and the woman could obviously use the cash

he was told no- and they were destroyed

hear say - but i had no reason to doubt him
