I recently inherited my father and great grandfather's gun collection (my great grandfathers things I am keeping). My father had a gun to protect us because when he worked as a transportation manager someone from a union threatened us. He shot it at a range once (I believe) then it stayed in his trunk until he didn't work anymore. Then it was in his closet in a Tupperware container...anyway...
I tried looking it up and it turns out there was a reason I had such a difficult time. Imagine my surprise when I eventually figured out what it was...I wish I could ask him more about how he chose this one vs. others. He did not own other guns. It is a 5 inch Colt Anaconda .44 Magnum...only 150 were made for some reason. I am getting a letter from Colt. So far they said this...
Here’s the information we located on your Colt Anaconda Revolver.
"Serial number MM83252 - .44 Magnum/44 Special, 5” barrel, Stainless, Stocks not listed, Shipped to Jerry’s Sport Center, Inc., Route 171 –Main Street, Vandling, PA on September 27, 1995, 5 gun shipment."
I will get a letter soon. What does "Stocks not listed" mean? Is this really rare?
I know in a recent auction the gun sold for 10k. I am hoping to eventually auction it off too. Can I include the ammunition he had in it? Does anyone have any advice on auction sites or procedures? Any other advice with it?
Thank you all!
