S & W 686 . stainless .357 revolver and S & W .38 hamerless revolver. Came the wrong way though. Up line instead of down. Son knew I favored old fashioned wheel guns and he wanted his mom to have another small revolver for purse or car. He never mentioned that while he was sick and left lots of other guns for his young son but when his widow delivered those two from him to his mom and me we knew he was thinking of us to the end and wanted us to be ok after he was gone.
ETA: miss that boy everyday.

Damn that jerked a tear from this daddy.
I have a couple that I'll never part with.
Have a Browning SA22 that was the first new gun my dad ever bought. Had my uncle pick it up from the PX after he got back from his last tour in Vietnam. Uncle died a little later that year. So I'll always have an attachment to that one.
Other one is SW model 66 357 combat magnum that my grandmother gave me a week before she died. My grandfather kept it at their trout dock just in case. I still have the original box and it looks like it has never been shot.
Dreading the day my dad passes on his Winchester 97s to me. One was grandpas and one was his. His has interchangeable chokes but grandpas was fixed modified. You can hear them pump almost as far as you can hear them shoot. 1000s of swamp rabbits died to those old thing. Hope he can hang on to those for another 50 years.

Sorry for your loss.
I really hope that 1 downvote was an accident.

Dang must have missed your posts. Sorry for your loss. A gun is a great way to remember someone. That's why I started this thread. I love to hear stories of old guns passed down, sadder when it's passed up. I think about both my grandfathers every time I just see their old guns in my closet. Praying for you and your family.
