The one thing which bothers me about these programs is every now and then some old widow turns in her late husbands WWII bring back, mint artillery Luger.
She has no idea that it is worth so much more and thinks she is doing a good deed.
It really does happen.
I have seen it happen, personally. Nothing I could do about it. In one case, I offered to look at the WWII bringback, the widow would not even let me look in the bag she was carrying it to the turn-in.
She said her late husband had once used it to defend them when they were out in the desert. She still turned it in. I never knew what it was, only a bring-back pistol from WWII.
I actually saw a minty Luger with original holster and spare mag turned in.
