History for the past 40ish years of these beauties....Ive had them for the past 30 years, never leaving the wall in my bedroom. They hold a sentimental value which still is to me, priceless. Prior to them being mine, they were my grandfathers. When he passed (30 years ago), there was no question to who they were going to. I was very close with my grandparents. I was their first grandchild. The golden boy among a sister and 10 cousins lol. No one knows where my grandpa came into possession of them. They were just something along with alot of other antique's that were always just, there. Hanging on the wall in a case, side by side. Thee only reason they are being sold is I am preparing to go fulltime RV-ing and anything that isnt going into an RV is getting given away or sold. No one else in my family could ever appreciate the history that these two pieces represent. They don't 'get it'. Hey I love my family don't get that wrong. But these two have souls and need to cared for as such. So I bring them to the community. an extended family most of whom I'll never meet. But family in a 2nd Amendment sense nonetheless.

Asking Price: $3,800 (for the pair)

Willing to consider reasonable offers.
