I'm sentimental about some of my old stuff, too.
For Christmas, 1956, my grandfather gave me his 22 rifle ---- A single shot Iver Johnson Model X. I hope one of my daughters or grandkids will keep it in the family.
I have the Walther P38 (with permission slip) that Dad brought home after WWll --- I hope someone treats that one right.
My Dad never carried a knife but I have Grand dad's old pen knife.
Other posters:
Those old Pumas were jewels -- sorry you lost it.
The old Boulder, Colorado Westerns were excellent knives, also --- I still have two -- one with a hatchet.
