<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 157317, member: 54&quot;]Agree with KOT and add that if offering it to family, if I were doing so, I&#039;d ask them to either pay for shipping or come to yr place to pick it up.&nbsp; Why not volunteer to deliver it to them?&nbsp; Because if they accept it &quot;just to be polite&quot; it may be in the trash again as soon as u are out of sight.&nbsp; Remember the family probably are the ones who tossed it originally and are disappointed that it has come back like a bad penny.&nbsp; Many families have zero desire to get things like this back, but well-meaning souls waste their time and money locating heirs for that purpose.&nbsp; The Japanese and a few other cultures are very much interested in family artifacts, but no so in much of the world.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another idea is to list it on Eboo or some dedicated gun or militaria sales site.&nbsp; Or offer it to a militaria store like Horse Soldier in Gettysburg pa.&nbsp; The best outcome may be to get it in the hands of a wwi collector who will appreciate it, display it, etc., and the vendors will do that.&nbsp; Or put it in a militaria auction say with Cowan&#039;s in Cincinnati.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
