I just turned 79 in Nov. and have severe COPD, which has had me on O2 24/7 for the last 10 years. Last March, I spent a month between the hospital and a rehab joint with a bout of pneumonia. At one point, they had me sign a DNR form. The short of it all- I ain't going to be around too much longer.
Knowing that, I'm now selling a 60 yr. accumulation of hunting, fishing and camping gear, as well a lot of memorabilia I have stowed during my career as an outdoor writer. And before you ask...all my kids are in their mid-50s and have no interest in owning any of it. They would much prefer good old money.
So...the topic of this thread will get sold to someone somewhere in the very near future. I'll probably start by listing it on Guns International or Gunbroker for what I think it's worth and go from there. The worst that can happen is it won't sell. But I'll keep trying.
Lastly, I really appreciate all the input from the members here. Thanks for that.
PS: I ran a copper brush with solvent down the barrels and they look like they're in decent shape. Also, for some reason the pitting in the photos looks a lot worse than it does to the naked eye or to touch. The worst is on the tang. Regardless, I'll let whoever buys it worry about it.
