No, I don't, and I'm still sick about it.

My dad bought a S&W Model 10 in 1950, the year before I was born. I told him all my adult life that I wanted his gun when he passed, and he said he would leave it to me. It was the only handgun he ever owned. A few years before he passed, he tried to give it to me, but I told him he needed to keep it, or he wouldn't have a gun (he'd sold all his rifles and shotguns by then.) Looking back, I wish I'd have taken it...anyway, after he died, I asked my stepmother about it, and when she went to get it, it was missing. She never messed with his gun, and didn't care for guns. I strongly suspect their next door neighbor took it...he had a key to the house, and he had admired that revolver many times...but of course, I had no way to accuse him. I know my dad would never have sold it, and neither would my stepmother. I still think about that gun, and I hope the dirty so-and-so who took it never gets one minute of enjoyment from it.
