It's in her shop for consignment, the person selling it is looking for offers, but you know and in my experience, people who are selling a firearm that belonged to a Father or Grandfather that was "in the war" they always expect way more than the actual value because of the back story and sentimental value. So my guess is it I was to make a reasonable (in our minds) offer, it would get rejected. It will be interesting to watch it play out though because she's closing up shop and moving out of state next month.
