Contemplating or considering a sale

TomA,
somehow, I think that this is too important a historical assembly for any individual. I keep thinking of the most expensive pistol in the world that was given to a museum for a five million dollars tax write off. It was a gold engraved Colt given to a Turkish sultan by Mr Colt. I never believed the gun was worth that much, but it was a hellava tax write-off. All you would need is for someone to offer, for example only, 2-3 million for the collection and that might establish value. Just an alternative thought.

Then again, if you don't have the income to warrant a tax write off this large, maybe there is someone on this forum who does. This forum has a wide range of people on it. Food for thought.

I know that I would like to see your collection and read the documents.
