That is impressive! I suspect many collectors wish they had kept records that thoroughly.
One thing that caught my attention is that your records span decades and cover much more than just firearms. Have you ever thought about what happens to all of that information down the road? For example, if a family member inherited your collection, would they be able to easily connect each firearm with its receipts, hunting history, licenses, and other records?
One of the challenges I've been thinking about is not just preserving information, but preserving the connection between the firearm and its history for the next generation.
Thank you for sharing your system. It's fascinating to see how different collectors approach record keeping.
