That may just be an old war story he just told us . He told me the story all the time. I'd love to be able to hear it from him one more time. The gun has the original leather holster with a swastika on it.

So what was the story? I'm interested.

I have my grandfather's deer rifle. Nothing too old (early 90's) but i have many fond memories hunting with him and seeing him carry that rifle. He was a short man @ 5ft tall and that rifle was only about 9-10" shorter than him

Browning A-bolt 7mm rem mag in s.s. with custom muzzle break and swarovski 4x12x56.

I have a couple.

1979 Marlin 39A. It was my grandpa's and I never knew him.
Remington 1100 410. Also my grandpa's.

I have matching sweet 16 and light 12 that are 70's models from him as well, but they're in kinda rough shape.

He was fighting in France. He will always said how much he hated the French before continuing on with the story so it's only fitting I include that. They were in a line and he and his buddies saw one laying on the ground. They passed on it thinking it was connected to a bomb. The next town over they got into a gun battle. He shot one in an adjacent building. After the fight was over they went clear the building and he took the officers pistol. He took an hour to tell the story but this is cliff notes. How true every word was I don't know but I like to believe him.

Not very valuable, but I have a Winchester model 67 ss .22 that my great grandfather gave my dad in the mid '40's. He had given him a fiddle as a small child, but he never learned to play it and as times were pretty lean then, they couldn't afford lessons. He traded the fiddle for the rifle (used) and that started a lifetime of hunting. My dad turns 74 this year and still enjoys the outdoors like a youngster.
I learned to shoot very young with it, and killed several rabbits and squirrels. It probably won't have much meaning to him, but my son learned how to shoot iron sights from the back porch with it when he was 5, and hopefully will keep it for his son.
