Don't mean to be unfeeling or immoral but, work on the ladies house was in exchange for the pistol (if I understand your writing correctly). Since "paid" for by labor, your Dad owns it now.

I appreciate your intention in the comment, but ownership isn't an issue of contention. The grandson wasn't even aware of it's existence. If it weren't for the paperwork connecting the piece with his family history (there is a collection of military unit patches, currency from various places in Europe, and other documents), I would've been very happy to keep it. I just think it's the right thing to do.
