Almost a great ending, but true.

Bought a 99F out of NY that had a private bill of sale in the butt stock from 1961. Both buyer and seller were from Michigan. After some research, the buyer was dead and so was his son, but not his grandson. I contacted the grandson and asked if he wanted to buy back his late grandfather’s 99F for same money. He was appreciative but passed. I would have bought it in a second.
