Can you imagine what an orignal 45 ACP Chinese Broomhandle is worth today? When I was on Bellevue PD, one of my friends was working the desk when an old lady came in with her dead husband's "red 9 Broomhandle" to turn it in for destruction. He told her to sell it, not destroy it, it was a collector piece. She sold it to him for $50 or something like that.
