Dave, speaking for myself I think you are getting close to the line on advertising a gun for sale on this forum. I know you haven't actually written that, and I am hoping that is not your intent. But all the talk about appraising the value of the gun, and now how to write up a description, would give most anyone that impression IMO.

I am hoping our users and members are not using this site's PM function to indicate interest in buying, because of course that would be contrary to our policy for users on this forum. Frank Silvers

I"m sorry, this was not my intention. I will stop.

Did you go to the show at Chantilly this weekend like one poster suggested? You would have gotten a good appraisal and probably could have sold your gun for what it was worth. If you went to the show, to whom did you show it? I was at the show as an exhibitor and will tell you if you showed it to the right person, not on this forum, of course. Rules about promoting sales of guns are much more liberal on the "Member's Forum".

Had to attend a funeral, I will keep my eyes open for another show.
All I have been trying to do is find out how much the gun is worth.
I do understand the rules of the forum and would never intentially break the rules. Although it appeared I was tip-toeing around the issue that is not my entent. Thank you for setting me straight.

David I believe that you said this was your Grandfather's gun. If I ever found one of my Grandfather's guns there is no one that has enough money to buy it from me.

It is rare to find a family heirloom with period accouterments and to see them leave the family would be a shame.

If you have no interest in guns or shooting I would recommend that you contact family members that may still be alive and document the history of the gun, preserve it as best you can and give it to a son, nephew or even a niece that shows interest in firearms and/or hunting because once it leaves the family it is likely lost and it is doubtful that it will ever return.

Thanks for your opinion Twice.

Amen.
