Where to ask question...

Thanks, it does help! No there is no handgun registry in Maine or my original home state of PA. The gun dealer who told her that is just a small step above me ( a kitchen-table gun dealer), in a town of 700 people, and he told her that that weapon simply would not sell in a town of this size, which is most likely true, which is why she was referred to me, since I do some gunbroker stuff now and again. I think the notion that it was worth thousands came from the legends we've all heard, about grandpa's old Luger being some rare piece and selling at auction for $10k+, or Junior finding it under the bed and pawning it to buy weed, only to find out later that it was worth enough to buy a house, which is of course totally un-prove-able because it is gone like the wind.

I'd love to buy it from her myself, but I don't have that kind of extra cash lying around. Maybe I can talk my dad into buying it, so I get it in 30 years!

Thanks for the info!
