If you really found that in a closet in the house you bought, you really lucked out... its value would likely have covered your closing costs. If I were you I would find out the history of the house... cause if the previous owner didn't die, he will likely remember his pistol is missing and report it stolen... not a good position to be in.

If the previous owner had passed on, then you might consider contacting the descendents to see about the appropriate heir?

I would be interested to learn what you find out, as probably many here would.

What state do you live in? Possession may be a problem if you live in a mandatory registration state...
