many years ago I acquired two guns from a G.I. who's outfit occupied Hohenzollern castle during WW2. one being a sauer sxs hammer rifle built in 1893 also a matching hammered drilling of 1893. I never figured that increased the value or cared but with all my fine guns owned they would be the last to go. there are some things that you just like and money or provenance doesn't influence its desirability.
