I sold my mint '02 AE Fat Barrel a few months ago. It wasn't fun, but you have to let go of them sometime...and I ain't getting any younger.

Ron Thank You, I'm holding out! SELLER REMOURSE! I WILL LEND YOU MINE~~

It's mentally painful to have to sell something you cherished and cared for for years! I've felt that pain too!

Ron,
I think that is the nicest 02 I have seen.
Mike

Ron Wood · 11-29-2022, 03:01 PM

Thanks Mike, it is the best I have ever seen also. Like new straight from the factory. I was sorry to let it go but it is time to pass on things I have accumulated and enjoyed over the last 65+ years.

Of the 500 faty produced I wonder ow many remain?

The only time one has to sell anything that is a source of satisfaction is if one needs the cash.

Not entirely true. Leaving family with the responsibility of finding a proper means of selling also is a consideration.

Was my 1902 Fat Barrel originally issue with a matching holster as was the 1900 U.S. Test Piece

No. Your 1902 is a Commercial, a holster would have to be purchased separately. The 1900 U.S. Test was a military contract and the US ordnance produced the holsters at Rock Island Arsenal to be issued with the guns.

"Not entirely true. Leaving family with the responsibility of finding a proper means of selling also is a consideration."

A valid consideration, but not a necessity. One's Will could specify how to handle the estate. There would be an executor and no one else need worry about it.

You are missing the point. The family and/or executor probably will not have the contacts and collecting experience to properly dispose of a collection. That is why it behooves collectors to do it right and make sure all parties are taken care of...interaction with the buyers so they are assured they are getting the real deal, and make sure they pay full and fair value that will be passed on to the estate.

families would not know what gun belongs with what accessories. so some taggings system and inventory list for the family sure would be help.

cirelaw · 12-13-2022, 07:43 PM

I have to sell~Since Deb died I'v lost her monthly SSI resulting in a loss of $1200/mo~Relying on my alone with a meager $230 yearly raises!!!I've got no choice!! Thank God for a few lugers!

Yakman · 12-13-2022, 09:03 PM

Ron,

Everything you are saying is valid...as a choice. If you choose to sell your entire collection while you can, that is up to you and has to be respected.

The point is, and I'm repeating myself: The only time one has to sell anything that is a source of satisfaction is if one needs the cash.
