what is this gun?

[Jim Mac]

I saw you advertising wanting to sell the pistol. I posted this up before, and its your gun and your circumstances. But if at all possible, the gun is a part of the family history. If at all possible, maybe try holding onto it for a bit before you decide to sell. Alot of us have made the quick decision to sell off our family treasures. Only to realize as we get older that the wad of cash you get today will be gone in a few days to a week. Keeping the hierloom will always be a treasure.

Agreed, I would love to inherit some heirloom myself, but all of my family collect nothing of value, let alone collect anything. If it was me I would keep it, but then again I am a fan of old Lugers or military memorabilia.
Sad part is all my grandfathers fought in World Wars as well.

Now one mans treasure can be another mans heartache to deal with selling or getting rid of. I think this is all of my families thoughts, no point collecting or keeping something that may or may not have any value or desire to another generation family member.
