So, I'm currently working an estate sale for the daughter of a WWII veteran. Ive been in this business long enough to safely say that at least 95% of the time these old veterans will have a least a couple of guns stashed somewhere. But so far we hadn't found any firearms of any kind until today.
We'd been staging for the sale for about an hour when I ask the lady, "You're absolutely sure that your father didn't have any guns in the house?"
"Well now that you mention it, I think he had a German gun he brought home from the war, but I don't know where it's at."
At this point my heart rate has sped up tremendously. Damn could it be a Luger? A Mauser sidelatch? A Walther? She said "gun" not "pistol" or "rifle."
Well, then we began to really, really dig. Firearms have the potential to make or break an estate sale for us.
About three hours later, one of my guys hollered from the back room, and.......................
A damned old EM - GE, Model 22k. AND not even a functioning or even some semblance of a complete one at that.
Then she says, "Well, wait a minute, I got some pieces here." And......
For a different gun entirely. Needless to say, I was ready to tear my hair out, and shocking no one more than myself, I gave her $2 for it.
