My dad recently showed me a gun passed down to him from his Aunt. It's a 1917 Model Colt and looks to be in great condition. It likely still shoots. I think I'd get in a bit of trouble carrying this around. Regardless, I told him that I want this going to me in his will.

That’s a beauty WW1 or earlier I bet. Be careful with it especially where you’re at

An amendment is appropriate here
I'm actually currently in America, moving to England next month. The gun is my father's and is staying with him in the States.
Thanks for the concern (and thanks to those that PM'ed me).

Well, if you're moving to the U.K. and ever need someone to look after that very, very cool gun.... I'm your man! ;-)

Awesome gun! By the way, where's the class ring from? Looks a lot like an Aggie ring.
