The older collectors are facing their mortality and, often as not, with nobody in their families to pass them down to, they go to market.

We see this almost every day at the shop . People die and the family wants the money rather then the guns . Now I’m not saying everything we move for folks are upper quality guns but we do see a fair amount . Quite a few times we’ve had folks come in after someone died and say dad told us this one was worth blah blah blah , and I tell them what a more likely value is in today’s market . They tell me I’m crazy and we lost it at what they say , six months later I’ve talked them down to what I told them and the gun sells .
