I'm not a collector, just holding on to things. My mother's grandfather was in the Army - Civil War. After the war he met a brother-in-law who had been in the navy. Old John Frank Hitchcock had a pair of colt .44's. His brother-in-law a man named Browne had a pair of .36 revolvers. Over a jug they decided to swap a pistol. Thus, I have one .44 and one .36 which I am supposed to pass on to a grandson. Also have the bullet makers and a bunch of the caps. However the last time either weapon was fired was the summer of 1961. Don't think they'll get fired again.
Stay healthy,
Andy
