Message:: [QUOTE="Nyatii, post: 3686247, member: 85686"]It's hard to do with personal items that have a lineage like yours. Especially personally made items. I did similar this last year. I made a Christmas present to my grandson of a Sportorized 1903 Springfield in 30/06 that I bought in high school in 1965 and my dad used to get his first deer the same year. Then a few months later on my grandson's birthday I gave him my first shotgun, a 12ga shotgun that my father gave me. I took my first game, a squirrel with it, and a legitimate 100 flying shot on a snow goose (00 Buck). I made sure I wrote up the history on both and gave it to him with the guns. I've also started separating my coins and will put names on the piles. I have a "Sack of Gaweas" set aside for one granddaughter that fawns over them. I remember many years ago when I used to carpool to my classes, one of the guys told me how his father had left his brother and him 10 gold $10 pieces. His brother cashed them in for face value because he needed the money for booze or something like that.[/QUOTE]
