There are guns you buy and shoot and in some cases sell.

There are guns gifted with some story attached that you shoot but would never sell.

I have a flint lock French model ANXII pistol (1812) my grandfather bought so long a go I was a kid that I have never shot... same for another gift with a story, a very cool Remington .41 rimfire double derringer(1888-1891).

Do you run around shooting grandpa's model 38 Marlin made in the 1920s... sure but there is a chance it will break.

I have lots of older firearms, some worth a pretty penny but most are shot once in a while and most have a story attached, however there are a few that are better off not shot but admired only.

There is sedimental value associated with some guns as in some vehicles, low milage but in excellent condition!
