I have a friend who’s mother had the late father’s WWII ACP .45, complete with all the trappings. Had never been fired any more than necessary for the dad to qualify. wrapped pristinely and put away for 75 years.
Mom gave it to the cops for a $50 gift certificate in a buy-back-and-destroy scam. I’m betting the house that gun is in some cop’s private stash.
Heartbreaking. ‘twas worth what, $3k? $4k? I mean, it was new in the box with original paperwork, holster, ammo, etc.
Sheep being led to the slaughter, my FRiend. Somewhere Stalin, Mao,Lenin, and Kruchev are smiling
