Museums are wonderful, but I talked to a gun at a gun show in Denver that specialized in our kind of guns. He said he worked part time at a local auction and every few months they’d get guns and items from a couple museums in the area. Once you sign them over, they can do what they want.
I’ve heard many times from folks who say they’d get an iron clad promise that “their” guns would be permanently kept and displayed. I am sure it happens but I’d say they can only display a couple of Lugers at a time… and how many “normal” folks know the difference in a byf and an Erfurt?
And waiting until the last “minute” to sell, yikes, although that’s my plan also. My son enjoys guns, but not necessarily Lugers, more like, Family guns that are passed down. But I’m ancient at 61, so
