Over the weekend I sold all my reloading equipment to my stepson.Dillon 650 lots of powder and primers And boxes of brass and bullets.Did not know everything I had but it was a lot.I gave him a price of less than the Dillon was worth.Anyway last night he sent me a text thanking me for throwing in a short barrel s&w model25-5. Holy poop! Somehow my Jovino 25-5 was on reloading table and went with him. My son was going to have a friend from Florida come get reloading gear and pay me a lot more.Thank goodness I checked with oldest boy and he wanted it.
I am such a dummy I was sure the 25 was in the big safe.

Losing track means you’re approaching the threshold of having too many firearms. Not exceeding, mind you, just approaching.

A free Jovino, I bet he was doing a happy dance

I lost a model 38 S&W for over 20 years. I thought I had left it in a hotel in Florida. My wife was killed in 1984. My FIL passed away several years later. A few years later I was talking to my MIL about guns and she said she had one she wanted to show me. It was my mod 38. She said my wife had given it to her Dad. I never would have done that, I guess she failed to mention it, but that gun saved my life in 1971. My partner used it to kill a guy who was trying to kill me. I later got it from him. I explained the significance of the gun and she traded it to me for a H&R .32. I got it back after she passed away. I had recovered that one in an armed robbery. I still have my FIL's M1 carbine that he had on his plane while piloting bombers in the South Pacific during WWII. My son has a WWI German rifle my MIL's father brought back from France. She gave it to him just before she passed away. He picked it up during trench battles. I love stuff with a little history.

Sorry for your loss....
