Two Collections for Sale, My Uncle & my U.S. Military stuff from 1700s to Korea in Tucson, Arizona For Sale
Have a few pieces left from my uncle?s collection, and my Aunt found a few more. Have reduced them for a sure sale. Also, my son just informed me he has no place to keep my life long U.S. Martial musket, rifled musket and rifle collection should I try to leave it to him. So it looks like I have to sell my prized pieces before I pass. A list of both my uncles stuff and my U.S. collection is below.
There will be a separate add for ammo. It will be priced to go.
