199.An Old Gun (UODUCK League +4)
With that, Freddy's tone took on a hint of provocation again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Du smiled and said: "If it's valuable goods, of course we have a way to take it away, if it's garbage, then we can't do it, because we're not used to photographing garbage." ”
With more than a dozen houses in his hands, Freddy is full of confidence at the moment.
Listening to Li Du's words, he smiled contemptuously and said, "Then what treasures are in the house you photographed earlier? Or rather, what are you doing in Carpenter Town?"
"They're here for tourism. "They're not here for the auction, otherwise how would they just buy a room and stop?"
Bard also gained a lot of money, buying at least five houses.
Li Du said: "You're right, we are here for a tour, and we took a lot of interesting photos with our cameras. ”
Bard was furious: "You said you would delete my picture!" Bastard, you damn ......"
"Shut up, you're treating yourself too much, how can we have you in our camera? ”
This made Bard feel a lot better, and what he was most afraid of now was that his photos would leak out.
Freddy crossed his arms and said, "Don't talk nonsense, buddy, let's go and see, what good treasures have you got in the house?"
They walked forward as they spoke, and the old house auction was not in a hurry to clean up.
Developers are not the same as warehousing companies, they are not in a hurry to start construction, and warehouses are in a hurry to clean up and then lease, so the processing period given is different.
In front of the fifteenth building, Godzilla had almost moved all the furniture and appliances.
Seeing Li Du and the others coming, he opened the car door and took out a shotgun emitting silver light, and walked towards them with an expressionless face.
The treasure pickers were scared enough by this scene!
Seeing a tower-like man walking towards him with a shotgun, someone shouted directly: "Damn, is this guy a Terminator?"
Walking up to Li Du, Godzilla handed him the gun and said, "I found it in the cupboard." ”
Hans snatched the gun and laughed, "Sura, man, you're right! This is the Terminator! Winchester M1887, this is the Terminator's gun!"
Listening to his words, the treasure picker began to discuss:
"Is it really the old Wen M1887?"
"No, isn't this gun more than a hundred years old?"
"Lao Wen M1887 has long been discontinued, this is not, and you look at its skin, how is it silver?"
"If it's really M1887, man, then they've earned it!"
Winchester was the first truly successful lever-fired repeating shotgun, and the lever-operated design was Winchester's most famous choice for the Winchester Repeating Weapons Company, most famously, the manufacturer's Winchester rifles were leveraged.
However, after the gun was designed, John Browning, the great designer in the history of weapons, protested, believing that the pump-action type would be a more suitable repeating shotgun for future combat, and the lever type would be obsolete.
He was right that the M1887 shotgun used black powder as the firing gunpowder, but smokeless gunpowder became popular in the late 90s of the 19th century.
The barrel of the M1887 was not strong enough to withstand the chamber pressure of smokeless gunpowder shotguns, so Winchester redesigned it to become the Winchester M1901.
Another improved shotgun is the M1897 model, which and the M1901 are both bullets made of smokeless gunpowder, which are more in line with the needs of the times, and then spread more widely.
The Winchester Company produced the M1887 shotgun, which began in 1887 and probably ceased to work until 1901, with a total of about 60,000 shotguns.
Compared with the vast United States, 60,000 shotguns can only be regarded as a drop in the ocean, especially after more than a century, such old guns are naturally even rarer.
In the United States, gun collecting is the biggest part of the collecting world, and M1887 is one of the stars.
As the treasure pickers say, if they get the original Winchester M1887, they have really found a treasure.
The treasure hunters gathered around Hans and asked:
"Is this a real gun? Which factory made it?"
"It's so well preserved? It should be a modern product, Australia, China and Italy have all copied the M1887, this is a counterfeit, right?"
"How can it be silver? I've never seen a gun like this, it's more like a toy!"
Hans turned the bolt, and the gun made a 'click' sound.
When you hear this sound, you know it's not a toy, it's a lever loading method, which is the classic loading method of the M1887.
Rubbing the gun carefully, Hans became more and more excited: "Absolute M1887! This is the original product, voila, Winchester-Model-(M)-5525, here is the number, this is the 5525th gun produced!"
"Hey, then this thing is worth a lot of money, a hundred-year-old gun, if it can be used, I dare say it can be sold for at least 20,000 yuan!" said the treasure picker enviously.
Hans said, "Twenty thousand, guys, do you see the silver paint on the surface?
Li Du is confident that the gun must be an old gun, otherwise the worm will not be attracted to the past, as for whether it is a customized model, it is difficult to say.
A treasure hunter squeezed in, picked up his gun, and said, "Let me see this badge." ”
Hans handed him the gun and introduced him to Lidu: "Tim Troy, he knows all the noble gatekeepers of Europe and America......"
"The thorny rose surrounds the winged pelican, and there is a shield in front of the pelican, and what is on the shield? Needless to say, there is a cross sword on it! Well, I know who owns this gun!" interrupted Hans.
"Who's it?" asked the treasure pickers curiously.
"The Boston Rudolphs, descendants of an aristocratic family active in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries," Troy said. ”
Saying that, he shook his head: "But there is very little news of them now, they were hardcore allies with the Japanese during World War II, and after we went to war with the Japanese, many of their businesses went bankrupt." ”
Hans was overjoyed: "There is no doubt that this gun is absolutely worth a lot!"
Troy said jealously: "Of course, damn it, I have studied so much aristocratic culture and history, why can't I have such an opportunity? God is not fair!"
Even more jealous was Freddy, who incredulously said, "Such a gun was picked up in an old house?
Li Du smiled and said: "Who knows? God bless good people, man, don't be so angry in life and work in the future, be a good person." ”
Hans said, "It's dangerous, but I'm glad I ended up with four thousand!
Freddy was so jealous that he vomited blood, the house almost belonged to him, just a little bit!
