Fantastic gun Trigger643. Great story behind it too. Much history in your hands.

My most valuable gun is my Beretta Sporting Silver Pigeon. My second most valuable is my Springfield TRP.

Most valuable gun in your collection

I don't have any valuable guns but some I like.
I've got a 1970 Colt stainless, Lawman, I think, .357 snub nose. My Uncle was given it from a NC Policeman. Uncle carried it his last tour in Nam. He retired when he cam back in 72. Took a ton of cleaning to get corrosion off stainless with semichrome and flitz. Grips show a lot of caarry.
A Weatherby .270 Magnum MkIV. Bought in 76 for less than 600.00. Japanese checkering needs going over.
A Winchester 94 made in 36 in .32 special. I think it might have been redone but not able to discern, as the work was really good. It is like factory new.
A Ruger .22 pistol stamped made in the 200th year of American Freedom, I think. Haven't had any of them out in such a long time not sure of words.
A Remington 600 in .308 might be the most valuable. If you can find one they are in the 2,000.00 range, I understand. I guess all of my guns don't exceed 600.00 in value each except that one and maybe the SP1s from early 70s.
Hopefully I will be adding a modest 4,000.00 double shotgun in the next year or so.

I don't have any guns that are rare or valuable. The most expensive gun that I own is a p224 SAS.

My most valuable gun in terms of monetary value would likely be the Winchester Model 61 rifle that I inherited from my grandfather. It's a 4 digit serial number, made in 1933 (2nd year of manufacture). It's got an octagon barrel and is chambered in .22 short. I've had people tell me that it's worth between $1200 and $3K.



The most valuable in terms of sentiment would likely be the first .357 Magnum that I bought, my Ruger Security Six. It's a "Liberty" gun, purchased in 1976. I had been married just less than 3 years when I bought it, and my new wife and I spent many hours target shooting with it along the river bank close to home. Lots of good memories with that gun.

I guess dollar wise would be my 1941 Walther PP 32.CAL. that was issued to the SS, that has all matching serial #'s even on the magazine.

Sentimental would be my Uberti 1875 Remington Outlaw 45 Long Colt I have owned about 35 years, and my S&W Model 66-2 with two and a half inch barrel that I've had about the same lengh of time. Those two I will never sell.
