If that provenance happened to be my grandfather(s), you wouldn't want to be bidding against me. Other than that, the only value of provenance to me, and most others I suspect, is speculation. If I were to buy a well used Colt on a hunch, and proved later that it had provenance to Hickock, that provenance would have value. (all the way to James Julia's)
