Guys,
I need some opinions. One of my most prized possessions, a 104 year old Winchester Model 12, 16 ga. shotgun has apparently been lost or sold by a local FFL dealer. The gun was a present from my Grandmother to my Grandfather on the day my father was born in 1911, he gave it to me when I was 12. It was my first gun. I gave it to the FFL dealer to have his gunsmith re-blue it and I was going to present it to my son on his next birthday. The dealer is no longer in business but accessible. I was told it came back to him from the gunsmith, blued, but with no name tag on it so the dealer assumed it was his!! I know he sold most or all of his guns to brokers or other dealers when he closed. If I cannot retrieve it what is my recourse. I'm not quite sure what the value is but it was never to be sold. It was just a field grade gun but the sentimental value is immense.
Thanks for listening.
