ok see picture (blank space) below of all of my inherited guns
well that is all of them
in all seriousness my grandfathers were both great guys I learned a lot from both of them I had the pleasure of hunting with one for about 10 years after he retired , he farmed and rand a construction buissness from the farm so it wasn't till he quit farming and construction that he got back to hunting. otherwise it was hurry up and get work done season.
he had one gun a Ithaca 12ga if it needed killing that was the tool and my uncle inherited it.
my other grandpa was a city kid from great Depression Chicago who joined the USN in WWII and met grandma the daughter of a commercial fisherman at a USO dance.
I don't think he purchased a gun in his life other than maybe for my dad when he started hunting but I think Grandma took care of that both are passed now but I recall my dad saying his mom took him to the store to buy his first shotgun. my dad is alive I should ask him next time I talk to him if it was grandma.
Her brother was the hunter and commercial fisherman who taught both dad and I to deer hunt.
Grandpa went with a few years when dad was a teen and borrowed a gun but he didn't take to it.
Dad likes it but other than bird hunting with friends when he was a kid and opening weekend of family deer camp he doesn't hunt much , when I was 12 dad took me squirrel hunting and we tried pheasant a few times unsuccessfully we archer deer hunted a little.
I had the pleasure of hunting with Uncle Bill for 27 years before he passed.
he has several guns , he also had 3 kids and grand kids so that is where those guns went.
I did buy an identical gun to the one he carried all of those years
the year might be off by a couple but same range and clearly the SN # is different.
it is referred to as Uncle bills gun at my house but it was not his.
but it is as close as I will get to the nostalgia of an inherited gun.
enjoy what you have and pass them on to your kids.
