She has not made a real hard stand, some of it is self imposed! I have made sure to keep gun money separate from house money. I appreciate the advice and will most likely list the guild gun at a high price and see if anyone bites.
Any thoughts on to whether it has been restored? Thanks.
Most likely- my advice parallels that of the late Limey author Rudyard Kipling- keep both guns and get a divorce--In his immortal poem about the Wedding- "A million women like Maggie, are willing to bear the yoke- but a woman's only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke"-- Of course that was penned in 1890, when women didn't vote or aspire to politics or any form of government, and were content to follow the Germanic mantra of "Kinder, Kuchen und Kirch"-- The late Gene Hill also wisely advised us to "never yet the wives really know what guns, gun club memberships and bird dogs really cost". That is a fine looking Guild gun, even with the Briley chokes- if you can kill birds or crush clays with it, then "Machts Nicht"-- keep it!!
