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!
