    You decide. 1903 Springfield, I paid $575; 1947 Colt Woodsman, dad got it free; pre war PPK with original matching mags, box, holster, lanyard, ammo, and subcaliber conversion kit. Got that for free too. I would guess the latter is the most valuable. But that one is most valuable due to accessories, not the gun itself.

    In short, nothign super valuable, but some nice stuff.

    I ain't got nothin' very expensive. Guess it all has sentimental value.

    Pig said it right ---

    "The most valuable gun is the one you have when you need it".

    In that venue, my most valuable one would be my .410/45LC Thunder Five Pistol.

    1. I have it cross loaded with .410 buckshot and .45 LC

    2. It makes enough noise to scare a locomotive off it's track

    3. If I run out of ammo, it could be thrown like a boomerang and knock fire out of somebody

    I opened this thread with a one-sentence response in mind and found SaxonPig quoted me word for word.

    I have to agree with Saxonpig on that one.

    My Colt SP-1.

    My buddy has his great uncles spencer carbine he used during the civil war. We think it fires a .56-56spencer. Its rimfire, feed thru the buttstock, is a dropblock sigle action repeater, and is a .56caliber. We were dry firing it at the TV the other day.... just kidding..... wouldn't do that. But it still is 100% funtional. Most of the finish is gone, has some surface rust, but nothing major. Looks great for its age. They even have some other left over stuff from the war.

    Agree, my carry gun is the most variable but other than that a few low-end heirlooms.

    Pack slow, fall stable, pull high, hit dead center.

    Moneywise...probably the 1st gen. Colt SAA. Of higher "value" would be the Commander .45 that saved 2 lives one night. My daughter's and mine.

    Some Brownings o/u with gold inlay. And value is subjective. I wouldn't part with them for the world.

    I've got a "Walter P-39" (that's what it says) engraved: "To Adolph....Happy Birthday....Love, Eva"

    The gypsy that sold it to me says it's very valuable.

    My father fought in WWII and brought from Germany a Walther P-38 pistol and a Mauser 8mm rifle that I have. They are the most valuable to me. Of course all that changes when I need the one I'm carrying, then it becomes the most valuable.
