'To my horror I discovered that one of my guns from the 1950's has become a safe queen.
About 98% and I simply don't get around to shooting it."
Look, it is not the fault of all of us here on the forum that you have permitted this valuable and close friend of your to turn into a safe queen and be lost in the back of the safe. It is your duty as a true American and a honored member of the S&W forum to release this firearm from the back of the safe and transport her a minimum of once a month, with you. to the range and use at least 50 rounds of ammo, all preciously aimed at a target down range, fire this weapon. In time, rehabilitation from lost safe queen to valuable and respected friend can be accomplished. You must have dedication to this cause and only after several of these range trips will you come to the realization that your horror of discovering a safe queen has actually turned into a rewarding experience for you and that you have released the true purpose in life to this thing you posses. And after this rehabilitation, please do not put it back into the deep dark remote recesses of the safe.

If it were me, I would ask myself, "Do I still like this gun?"
If the answer is "No", then I would put it up for sale at current retail value.
If the answer is, "Yes", then I would hang on to it and enjoy it.

and we still don't know
Back in the days when I was raising a family, I had to usually sell or trade a gun to get a different gun I had the hots for. Whatever the shooting game at the time. I traded a Hi Standard Military gold trigger 7 1/4 fluted barrel for something after I stopped shooting bullseye. Guess what, several years later I started shooting bullseye again. No .22. The Hi Standard that replaced it was the citation, silver trigger. Still shot as well, but not the same.
Or the first year Combat Magnum that went for ....what? No idea.
In other words, I don' think I ever sold or traded a gun I didn't want back sometime later. I no longer make that mistake.

Understand the trading because of low funds. I also sold and traded some great guns, and no longer make that mistake either. I am not a collector, but I am an accumulator. If you though it was great when you acquired it, it will always be great for you to own and shoot.
