if they go to auction let us know would love to see them
Inside were 15 rare guns complete in their display wood boxes. The cleaning rods were not used. All of the guns had target hammers and triggers. There were also several makes and models. Each were engraved and had never been fired. I tried the trigger pull on several.
Nice of you to try the triggers and turn the cylinders on someones rare and unfired weapons.

I hope you didn't close them up the old "Hollywood Gum Shoe" method with a flick of the wrist!!!! Just kidding. As someone who collects Smiths the trigger is nearly always good on their revolvers. My cousin stoped saying "Man, that's a nice trigger" after he realized he had said that about the last 70 Smith's he had held. If it says Smith and Wesson on the frame that is one thing you do not really have to check. IMHO (which is biased I admit.)

Most were all Smiths, they were all inspected and they were all empty. When I tried the hammar pull, the cylinder was open
by law everything in a bank box must be reported to the state unclaimed property department..

No, I was very careful. I even wore surgucal gloves to pick them up. Unpowdered. I have several myself and carried a nickle 19 for almost 20 years.
THANK GOD YOU FOUND MY UNCLES BOX!!! We've been looking for records of where he kept them for years!!! PM me the info and I'll be down to pick them up ASAP...
Damn. Must be a bigger lock box than the one I've got!
A full grown person could almost sit in one. It was almost 3 X 3 X 3.
In my job we open these security deposit boxes and in my 37 years have never seen anything like that. COOL.
Here are couple of stories in this vein that I post here solely in the hope that the readership will find them interesting…
