If you inherited a gun from your gay Uncle Pervis, what would you hope the old skin flint would leave you? Keep it real.

How about John Taffin's Reeder No.5 with the fancy grips...

I have a .44 already, but that would be nice. A .45 Colt and .357 Reeder No.5 sure would make a nice trio.
I'm already blessed beyond any reasonable measure. But to really get my goat. I hope when I croak, the guys have fun casting lots for my stuff.
I actually have one uncle left, Uncle Lloyd. He used to let me borrow guns from him when I was a youth. A TC Contender .44 Mag. (8-3/8" Hot Shot) and 3X Lobo scoped 10" octagon .22 barrel. The old Franchi 12 that kicked like the literal mule! I was using it dove hunting when some boys talked me into trying some Copenhagen. Well I figure the recoil contributed, I have never been more ill feeling for what seemed an eternity. All colors of the rainbow, I was in a real state trying to get well enough to crawl back home. NEVER again. I'd like to have those if he still has them, and is through, just for the memories and to pass on.
John Taffin had several full custom guns

that I built especially for him thru the years. It would be interesting to see where those guns ended up. The special #5 that I built for him with his age as he serial number, #66 if I remember right.
I had 100 guns cast that were almost exact copies of the original #5. I had a hard time getting the internals made for these 100 #5s so of the 100 cast only 45 or so actually ended up being real #5s. All stainless steel, full engraved with very special grips. It would be nice to know where they ended up. Plus another 30 or so thru the years. Various series. But all custom. If a person had a copy of each of Taffin's books he could see the guns, but not knowing where they ended up.
