Go check the serial numbers She could be sitting on a true Gold Mine
Im not kidding
All of his stuff, is stored away with her Granny, who is doing her best to outlive her granddaughter haha...
Drew Berrymore is her cousin...Her family are also relatives of Mr.Colt, and fought for his estate, but lost. So my Ol'lady is the third in line for his really cool stuff. Her granny, mother and uncle, do not share the same interests as Sam...So they don't even know the importance of some of his stuff, I'm sure... It will be interesting to see some of it, some crazy history there....
This also reminds me of something that happened to my old roomate....
He got a painting from his grandfather that had passed, and needed a frame for it. So he went to the old second hand store in my town, and found one he felt suited the painting. He did manage to find one, but it had a picture in it already. The owner of the store would not let him buy the frame only, so he bought it anyways. When he got back home, I watched him go to pull the picture out of the frame, when we noticd a bunch of papers stashed in behind the picture.
What he then pulled out, were old wanted posters, from the old western days...There were five in total, all mint. One was a sign to check your fire arms in, for Dodge City, another was a Billy The Kid wanted poster, and another three that have now slipped my mind...
He got them looked at, and was told they were legit.... So he went and spent 500$ to get them framed....
Sad part is, hard drugs and partying took over, and they were sold to a collector for damn near peanuts...
Damn shame really....
