My paternal grandfather was a gun guy. Had a collection back before collecting became a thing.
All lost due to my parents divorce, and miscalculations and other long stories. Thank you mom.
My maternal grandpa also had a couple of shotguns, but divested all but a single shot .410, which hangs on my office wall. I would never part with that little 20 dollar klunker for money.
I'm trying real hard to not be judgemental here, but I am puzzled a little bit by people who need to put a monetary value on family heirlooms, unless for the purposes of insurance.
My paternal grandpa captured two armed bank robbers in Perris California back in the 1930s with a single shot trap door .45/70 after disabling their car with the one chambered round.
How much is that rifle worth would I ask. NEVER!
