What do I have?

So if a person can't afford high condition guns he's not a collector.

Geeze... i cant seem to win with you, can I?

I am not speaking of people who collect, i speak of items that are in a condition or of a rarity that makes them collectors pieces as investments.

While I agree condition and rarity make things "more collectible" you still need to take into consideration regardless of condition there will be no more made that are "original" . So I tend to think they're all collectible to a degree .

I'm not a collector, I'm a saver. I have a gun with history that means more to me than any monetary value. I will continue to pass it down from oldest son, to oldest son. As has been done. That's how I got it. At this point, my son is already designated receiver. and his son, my grandson, is next. Grandpa will teach him the value of tradition. I really don't care about the value of the gun. It has more value to me for the history. I was only curious about what it was actually worth. When my father handed it over to me, 30 years ago, he claimed it would sell for 2900.00. I always doubted that, But, you know he may have not been far off. I don't care what it is worth.
I am just happy to be in possession of it.
