It never ceases to amaze me what some people buy. I know a collector who bought a German WWII helmet that was dug up at Normandy near the beach, would be an amazing collectible except it was about 65% missing due to rust. The bottom rim of the helmet was there and barely attached to what remained above it.
I get it's possible association with the D Day invasion and the Atlantic wall, but in 100 years despite any efforts at preservation, this helmet will be dust. It was buried at a salt water beach for almost 50 years, there is no saving it.
Similarly I think that Colt revolver (the one that sold for 33k) is going to have a limited life span. Some things you just put in a museum for it's novelty status.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
