Heirlooms

Here in my office I have a Winchester model 94 carbine leaning against the bookshelf. It was my father's, and he shot his first deer with it. He also lent it to my cousin Dan, his sister's boy, who shot his first deer with it. (My first deer was shot using a different gun, but that's another story.)

Tracing down the serial number of this 94 I see that it was manufactured in 1956.

I fully expect to hand this off to one of my children, and it's entirely possible that one of my grandchildren will shoot his or her first deer with this Model 94.

You can't buy this kind of value... it has to be lived.

Do you have any similar kind of heirlooms you plan to pass on?
