what you might want to do to throw a wider net is mention to him that you remember that one of your dad's pistols came into his possession; explain to him that it's got sentimental value for you and ask to buy it back when he's ready to part with it.
I say this b/c although you re 99.9% sure that that pistol you saw is your father's, maybe he's using your father's pistol as his bedstand piece. I'm sure he knows where that particular pistol is. It's safer than you guessing.
