Absolutely I do! My Grandfather's Smith & Wesson 3rd Model Perfected Single Shot .22 LR with the 10-inch "Olympic-chambered" barrel, which he won in competition just about a century ago, is our number one family heirloom.
My father's two Smith & Wesson handguns (all he ever owned and shot beside the above) are also right up there too: His Model 41 in 7" and his beloved Model 28 in 6".
Both have been cared for by him and throughout the years since with museum-grade diligence and are in pristine perfect condition.
Dad also had some long guns which were bequeathed to his grandsons as he had always wanted. They still own them today.
