Chapter 1183: Bosom Friend

The seven box guns are already considered to be high, but until it is confirmed that the guns are all usable, and as Federer claimed, all the accessories are original, this formality cannot be done, and the money cannot be paid, and the transaction can only be completed after test firing and verification.

For antique guns, the price is one in the sky and the other is on the ground, and it has to be all the original accessories to be used, otherwise, the value is several times worse.

The price of the guns sold by Federer is very high, which is far beyond the market, even if Gao Yang does not ask for it, Federer has to take the initiative to disassemble the gun and let Gao Yang see the internal state, and now Gao Yang wants to go to the shooting range with him, so he will naturally wait for the shooting range to be verified one by one after arriving at the shooting range.

The gun still belongs to Federer for the time being, so Federer carefully put away the guns one by one, carefully packed the bags, and didn't have to set up the stall anymore, and he was going home after cleaning up.

Excited, Gao Yang temporarily left the gun show and drove behind Federer's car all the way to the suburbs of Los Angeles.

Federer had a big house in the suburbs, and after inviting them into his house, Federer did not waste time and directly invited them into his collection room.

Federer devoted his life to the collection of the Mauser C96, so his collection room was a treasure trove for them.

There are more than 100 boxes of all kinds, both original and imitation Mauser, all of which are stored in glass cabinets, which are made of bulletproof glass, which can be used as display tables and anti-theft safes. These glass showcases alone are expensive.

Jack said Federer was the biggest player to specialize in Mauser C96. This sentence is indeed true.

Look at the room full of box cannons. The visual impact on Gao Yang is too great, that is, Federer has been collecting all his life, otherwise, it is really not easy to gather so many different types of guns.

After leading Gao Yang and them to the collection room, Federer said proudly: "Please take a look, if you like the one, you can take it out and look at it carefully, no two guns here are exactly the same, even if it is a gun type." But there are also subtle differences in the year of production and in the details. ”

In a separate cabinet there was a pistol, and under the pistol was a piece of paper with some characteristics about the gun written on it, Gao Yang stood in front of the cabinet, and after looking at it, he said to Federer with a look of surprise: "This gun is the original real version?" ”

Federer said with a smug face: "That's right, the prototype is a real gun, which can be fired, original parts." ”

Looking at Gao Yang with a surprised face, Federer laughed like a child satisfied with vanity. He stood beside Gao Yang and said proudly, "Do you want to take it out and take a look?" ”

Gao Yang was stunned for a moment. Immediately, he said, "Of course I would like to take a look, if I can." ”

Federer waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is my baby, but you can see it, wait a minute, I'll take it out for you, please wait a minute, I'll go get the key." ”

Federer walked briskly to get the key to the safe, when Jack smiled at Gao Yang: "Mr. Federer looks at you differently, you must know that he never lets you touch his treasure collection, you know, Mr. Federer is recognized as the number one collector in this field, he can open a Mauser company weapons museum, no one has a more complete collection than his here." ”

Gao Yang also feels that he is very lucky, how to say, private ownership of guns is allowed, and the situation of guns is very widespread is a big problem for public security, but it is good news for gun lovers and collectors, that is, in the United States, it is possible to have a big collector like Federer, because in other countries, even if private ownership of guns is allowed, but more stringent regulations make many guns not allowed to be privately owned at all.

Without waiting long, Federer returned with a bunch of keys, opened the glass display case, and took out his most precious prototype gun first.

The prototype gun reflects the initial stage of a gun from scratch, and there is nothing special about it at all, in the final analysis, it is a sentiment and collection value.

Gao Yang took the gun in his hand, played with it for a while, and took aim, thinking about what it was like to be held in the hands of the people at that time when this gun was first built more than a hundred years ago.

Goyan didn't even ask Federer if he would sell the prototype, because he knew it couldn't be.

When Gao Yang looked at the gun, Federer said with a smile: "I originally planned to set up a private museum to exhibit all the light weapons of the Mauser company, mainly Mauser C96, but there are too few people who play this gun, this circle is too niche, and the cost of the museum is large, so I think this wish is unlikely to come true." ”

Mauser C96, or the box gun in China is really known to everyone, no one knows, but outside of China, even including the country of origin Germany, this gun is not much concerned, although there are also people playing, but compared to M1911 or P08 and P38 These guns, there are too few players.

Federer seemed a little sad, after speaking, he waved his hand, a helpless face, and smiled: "My whole life has been spent collecting C96, as well as my financial resources, everything in this room, I will never sell, these guns are not easy to collect, but when I die that day, I don't know where these guns will be scattered, hey, whatever." ”

Gao Yang thought about it, but still said cautiously: "Do you have a child?" ”

Federer nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I have two daughters and two sons, but they don't like my collection, I guess they will leave a few as a souvenir, and the rest should have a big sale at a low price." ”

After finishing speaking, Federer shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said: "Life is like this, in fact, we shouldn't think so much about whether it's right or not, it's already selfish to invest too much in your hobbies, so don't think about letting your family pay for your hobbies after death." ”

Federer looks like he must be in his seventies, and the problem he is worried about is indeed a very real problem, and Gao Yang does not know how to deal with it, so he can only respond in silence.

After playing with the prototype gun for a while, Gao Yang handed the gun to Federer with both hands.

Federer, the old man, was very principled, and he was willing to let Gao Yang appreciate and play with his treasure, and after Gao Yang carefully handed the gun back to Federer, he completely ignored Jack and Li Jinfang, who were looking at him from the side, and immediately put the gun into the glass cabinet, carefully adjusted the position of the gun, and then locked the glass cabinet.

Old child, old child, Federer is now an old child, and he can do whatever he wants with Gao Yang, who is right-eyed, talking and laughing, and as for others, they are all ignored by him.

Gao Yang thinks that Federer's old man is too cute, but in the eyes of Cui Bo and Li Jinfang, they think that this old man is too hateful.

Morgan, Taylor and Jack were completely left aside, although the three of them also love guns, but just look at it, not to watch it all the time, fortunately, Federer's wife is a sincere person, and warmly greeted them to the living room, where they can have a cup of coffee and wait for Gao Yang.

Cui Bo and Li Jinfang are also very interested in the box cannon, although they are not valued by Federer, the two of them also followed all the way, and Yelena, she has been by Gao Yang's side and is very interested in listening to the conversation between Federer and Gao Yang.

Federer has to talk to Gao Yang in front of each gun, and Federer can tell a word about the origin of each gun, and Gao Yang, that is, he can recognize a few particularly common guns, but he can also talk to Federer on a certain gun, so among the two people, Gao Yang has gained a lot of knowledge, and Federer has found a very good audience.

Bosom friends are hard to find, of course, there are collectors who entertain themselves, but the vast majority of collectors must hope to have a few more like-minded friends, chat about the collection, appreciate the collection, listen to others express their heartfelt admiration for their collections, and exchange experiences and experiences with each other, which is a great pleasure of collecting.

The more Federer looked at Gao Yang, the more pleasing he became, and he had a sense of confidant with Gao Yang, and he was happy to talk, Federer waved his hand and smiled at the guns in the room: "Gao, do you know, I picked out the best of these guns and put them here, but I also have a lot of guns of the same model, and the few that I sold to you are the ones that I have extra and good quality guns to sell, and now, as long as I have a surplus, all of them can be sold, and you will take a look at them later." ”

Gao Yang smiled: "Okay, I'm going to have a bumper harvest today, I don't know what to say, I can only say that today is my lucky day." ”

After finally reading all the display guns that Federer put in the glass case, Federer beckoned to Gao Yang: "Follow me, go to my storage room, where there are more guns, you like, I can sell them!" ”

Although Federer is selling guns rather than giving them away, when he says this, he is as determined as if he is frightened, and he is really reluctant, although Gao Yang is not a collector now, he can only be regarded as a player who entertains himself, but he understands Federer's mood very well.

For Gao Yang, anyway, as long as he puts the gun in his bag, he must like it, and it is impossible for him to sell it again.

Although he was not young, Federer walked quite steadily, strode out of the house with Gao Yang, and came to a basement that was specially kept dry with a dehumidifier, Federer pointed to the full box inside, and said loudly: "The rest are all here, there are about two hundred and sixty more, high, enjoy it slowly, and then pick a few guns you like, let's go have a good fight!"
