I went to answer an ad in the thrifty nickel one time. It was an estate sale and I allways go to them looking for guns even if they don;t list any in the ad. It was a elderly lady and she was very nice and pleasent and talkative. We got to talking about her late husbands being in WWII and that he was one of the guys who "Stormed the beaches of Normandy" and such. I get around to asking about guns and she says she has only 2 that he had, a pistol and a "rifly" she called it. I ask if they are for sale and she says I don;t know what they are worht but sure I'd sell them she tells me. I go into the bedroom with her and she pulls out a Government 1911 from very early WWII and a MP40 Smeischer sub machinegun! I freaked out! I am a stand up guy so I told he that the GI45 was worth a lot, and the MP40 was basically priceless because it was illegal to own...told her to donate the MP40 and probably the 1911 to some war musieum or something and not to sell either to anyone. I went home feeling very moral and machinegunless.....but legal.
