Heirlooms
I am very much in with the idea. Unfortunately, I didn't inherit much; my maternal grandfather was the gun guy and he died before I was born and his guns went to older relatives.
What I do have is some firearms that belonged to friends and that suits me right down to the ground.
For instance, Terry M's first handgun, a 4" Colt Huntsman. My first handgun was a 6" Colt Huntsman and we both also had Hunter holsters for them.
Probably won't mean a lot to my heirs, but it means something to me. Terry retained the box and a letter to his Dad.
