One hundred and eighty-three chapters bosom friend
The seven box cannons are all high-spirited, but they can all be used after confirming that the gun is available. And as Federer claimed, all accessories are original, the procedures cannot be completed, and the money cannot be paid. They must be tested and verified before the transaction can be completed.⊙,
For antique guns, whether they can be used or not, the price is in the sky and the other is in the ground, and they must be all the original accessories, otherwise the value will be several times different.
The guns sold by Federer are very high, which is far beyond the market conditions. Even if Gao Yang has no requirements, Federer has to take the initiative to disassemble the gun so that Gao Yang can see the internal state. Now Gao Yang wants to go to the shooting range with him, so he naturally waits to verify them one by one after another after arriving at the shooting range.
The gun belongs to Federer for the time being, so Federer carefully put away all the guns one by one, carefully packed them up, and no longer had to set up the stall. He cleaned up and went home.
With excitement, Gao Yang temporarily left the gun show and drove behind Federer's car to the suburbs of Los Angeles.
Federer had a big house in the suburbs. After inviting Gao Yang and the others to enter the house, Federer did not waste time and directly invited Gao Yang and the others to enter his room.
Federer has devoted his life to Mauser 96, so his room is nothing but a treasure house for Gao Yang and the others.
There are a hundred boxes and cannons in all kinds of boxes, including Mauser’s original and imitation products, all in glass cabinets. The glass cabinets are made of bulletproof glass, which can be used as display stands and as anti-theft safes. These glass display cabinets alone are expensive.
Jack said Federer was the largest player dedicated to Mauser 96. This sentence is true.
Looking at the box cannons all over the room, it had too much visual impact on Gao Yang and the others, that is, Federer has been there all his life. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to gather so many different types of guns.
After taking Gao Yang and the others into the room, Federer said proudly: "Please look. If you like it, you can take it out and watch it carefully. The two guns here are not exactly the same, even if they are one. However, there are also subtle differences in production year and details."
There was a pistol in a separate cabinet, and a piece of paper was placed under the pistol, which contained some characteristics of the gun. Gao Yang stood in front of the cabinet, took a look, and said to Federer in surprise: "Is this gun an initial experimental version?"
Federer said with a proud look: "That's right, the prototype experimental gun can be fired, original parts."
Looking at Gao Yang with a surprised look, Federer smiled like a child who satisfied his vanity. He stood beside Gao Yang and said proudly, "Do you want to take it out and see?"
Gao Yang was stunned for a moment and immediately said, "Of course I want to see it, if I can."
Federer waved his hand and smiled, "This is my baby, but you can see it. Wait a minute, I'll take it out for you now. Please wait, I'll get the key."
Federer briskly went to get the keys of the safe. Jack smiled at Gao Yang and said, "Mr. Federer looks at you differently. You must know that he never lets you touch his treasures. Do you know that Mr. Federer is the first recognized in this field. He can open a weapon museum produced by Mauser. No one has a complete collection than his here."
Gao Yang also felt that he was lucky. How to say that it was allowed to possess firearms in private, and that the situation of guns was very rampant, which was a big problem for public security, but it was a blessing for gun enthusiasts and families. That is, in the United States, large collectors like Federer could appear, because when they switch to other countries, even if they were allowed to own firearms, the stricter regulations made many guns not allowed to possess them in private at all.
Before long, Federer took a string of keys back, opened the glass display cabinet, 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 when used. In the final analysis, it is a kind of emotional value.
Gao Yang held the gun in his hand, played with it for a while, and glanced at it, thinking about how it felt when the gun was first built more than a hundred years ago and was held in his hand by people at that time.
Gao Yang didn't even ask Federer if he was willing to sell the prototype gun, because he knew it was impossible, so he didn't need to ask such words.
When Gao Yang was looking at the gun, Federer smiled and said, "I originally planned to set up a private museum to display all the light weapons of Mauser Company, mainly Mauser 96. However, there are too few people playing this gun, this circle is too niche, and the museum's expenses are large, so I think this wish is unlikely to come true."
Mauser 96, or box cannons, are really well-known in China, but in places outside China, even in Germany, the country of origin, few people pay attention to this gun. Although there are also people playing it, there are too few players compared to m1911, p08 and p38.
Federer seemed a little sad. After saying that, he waved his hand, looked helpless and smiled: "I have spent all my energy on collecting 96 and my financial resources. I will never sell everything in this room. It is not easy to collect these guns, but after I die that day, I don't know where these guns will be dispersed. Hi, don't worry."
Gao Yang thought about it and said carefully: "Do you have children?"
Federer nodded and smiled, "Yes, I have two daughters and two sons, but they don't like my collection. I guess they will leave a few handfuls for a souvenir. The rest should be a low-priced promotion."
After saying that, Federer shrugged helplessly and said, "Life is like this. In fact, we shouldn't consider so much, right? It's already selfish to invest too much in our hobbies. Don't think about what your family will give to their hobbies after death."
Federer seemed to be in his seventies no matter what. The problem he was worried about was indeed a very realistic problem. Gao Yang didn't know how to interfere, so he could only deal with it silently.
After playing with the prototype gun for a while, Gao Yang handed the gun to Federer with both hands.
The old man Federer was very principled. He liked Gao Yang, so he was willing to let Gao Yang appreciate his treasure. After Gao Yang carefully handed the gun back to Federer, he completely ignored him and looked at him Jack and Li Jinfang. He immediately put the gun into the glass cabinet. After carefully adjusting the position of the gun, he locked the glass cabinet.
Old kid, old kid, Federer is now acting like an old kid. He can do whatever he wants to talk and laugh, but as for others, he ignores them all.
Gao Yang thought that the old man Federer was too cute, but in the eyes of Cui Bo and Li Jinfang, he thought that the old man was too hateful.
Morgan, Taylor and Jack were completely left aside. Although the three of them also loved guns, they could just look at it, so they wouldn't be over. Fortunately, Federer's wife was a honest man and enthusiastically called them to the living room, where they could have a cup of coffee and wait for Gao Yang.
Cui Bo and Li Jinfang were also very interested in box cannons. Although they were not valued by Federer, they also watched along the way, and Yelena, who had been by Gao Yang's side and listened to the conversation between Federer and Gao Yang with great interest.
Federer had to talk to Gao Yang in front of each gun. Federer could tell a few of the origins of each gun. Gao Yang could recognize the most common ones, but he could also talk to Federer on a certain gun. So Gao Yang gained a lot of knowledge among the two, but Federer found a very good listener.
It is hard to find a soulmate. Of course, there are homes for self-entertainment, but most of the homes definitely hope to have more friends, chat with collections, appreciate them, listen to others express sincere praise for their collections, and exchange experiences and experiences with each other. This is a great pleasure.
The more Federer looked at Gao Yang, the more he liked Gao Yang, and he felt a close friend. He was so happy that he waved his hand and smiled at the guns in the room: "Gao, do you know, these guns are the best ones I have picked out here, but I still have a lot of guns of the same type. The ones I sell for you are the ones with extra and good looks. Now, as long as I have extras, all of them can be sold. You will see them later."
Gao Yang smiled and said, "Okay, I'm going to have a great harvest today. I don't know what to say. I can only say that today is my lucky day."
After finally seeing all the display guns that Federer placed in the glass cabinet, Federer waved to Gao Yang and said, "Come with me, go to my storage room, wherever there are more guns, I can sell them if you like!"
Although Federer is selling guns, he is as if he is so scared when he says this. He is really reluctant to leave. Although Gao Yang is not yet known as a player and can only be regarded as a player who entertains himself, he understands Federer's mood very well.
For Gao Yang, as long as he put the gun in his bag, he would definitely like it. It would be impossible for him to sell it.
