He kept the gun for what, 40 plus years? Not exactly a fast buck. Heck he is as old as we are, older than many here. It is time to pass the gun on to another. I guess in a perfect world he would sell the gun and give the money to the Ruffled Grouse Society. But the world is rarely perfect. Maybe he needs the money to buy gas or pay his taxes. We drool over guns, but the rest of the world knows we are crazy. I like it that way. Fewer others trying to buy guns I like.
It should bring a decent dollar but not an extreme price. It is a very desirable gun to many and has a history that few others can match. At least this way the history of the gun will be well recorded and passed on. How many here have wished that they knew who owned the guns and the history of their use before they bought them? I have several that I would love to know about and am sure that many others here have others.
