Chapter 200 199. An Old Gun (Uoduck +4)

With that said, Freddy's tone was provocative again.

Li Du smiled and said, "If it's valuable goods, of course we have a way to take them away. If it's garbage, then we can't do anything about it, because we're not used to taking pictures of garbage."

With more than a dozen houses in hand, Freddy is full of confidence at the moment.

Hearing Li Du's words, he smiled contemptuously and said, "Then what treasures are there in the house you photographed earlier? Or, why did you come to Carpenter Town?"

"They're here for tourism," Bud said. "They're not here to participate in the auction. Otherwise, why would they stop after buying only one house?"

Bud also gained a lot, buying at least five houses.

Li Du said: "You are right, we are here to travel, we brought our cameras and took many interesting photos."

Bud was furious immediately: "You said you would delete my photo! Bastard, you damn..."

"Shut up, you treat yourself too much, how can we have you in our camera? We are here to take pictures of beautiful scenery, not trash."

These words made Bud feel much better. What he is most afraid of now is that his photos will be leaked.

Freddy folded his arms and said, "Stop talking nonsense, buddy, let's go and see, what kind of treasure did you get in your house?"

They walked forward while talking, and the old house auction was not in a hurry to clean up.

Developers and storage companies are different. They are not in a hurry to start construction, but warehouses are in a hurry to clean up and then lease, so the processing deadlines given are different.

In front of the small building No. 15, Godzilla has almost moved all the furniture and appliances.

Seeing Li Du and others approaching, he opened the car door and took out a shotgun emitting silver light, and walked towards them with a blank expression.

The treasure hunters were terrified by this scene!

Seeing a big man like a tower 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 cabinet."

Hans snatched the gun, laughed and said, "Sura, man, you are right! This is the Terminator! Winchester M1887, this is the Terminator's gun!"

After hearing what he said, the treasure hunters chattered into discussions:

"Is it really Old Wen M1887?"

"No way, hasn't this gun been around for more than a hundred years?"

"Old Wen M1887 has been discontinued a long time ago, this is not it, and you look at its outer skin, why is it silver?"

"If it's an M1887, man, they've got it!"

The Winchester was the first truly successful lever-operated repeating shotgun. The lever-operated design is the Winchester Repeating Arms Company's best-known choice, most famously, the manufacturer's Winchester Rifle All are lever-operated guns.

However, after the gun was designed, John Browning, the great designer in the history of weapons, protested that the pump-action type would be a more suitable burst shotgun for future battles, and the lever type would be eliminated.

He was right that the M1887 shot used black powder as the propellant, but smokeless powder became popular in the late 1890s.

The barrel pressure of the M1887 is not enough to withstand the chamber pressure of the smokeless gunpowder-type shotgun. Winchester has redesigned it, and the result of the design is the Winchester M1901.

Another improved shotgun is the M1897. It and the M1901 are both made of smokeless powder, which is more in line with the needs of the times, and then spread more widely.

The M1887 model shotgun produced by Winchester Company began in 1887 and stopped around 1901, with a total production of about 60,000 pieces.

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 collection is the big head of the collection industry, and M1887 is one of the stars.

As the treasure hunters say, if they get the M1887 produced by the original Winchester factory, it is really a treasure.

The treasure hunters surrounded Hans and asked one after another:

"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 imitated M1887. Is this a counterfeit?"

"How can it be silver? I've never seen such a gun, it's more like a toy!"

Hans turned the bolt, and the gun made a crisp sound of 'click'.

Hearing this sound, people will know that this is not a toy. It is the classic lever loading method, which is the classic loading method of M1887.

Carefully rubbing the gun, Hans became more and more excited: "Absolutely M1887! This is the original product, look, Winchester-Model-(M)-5525, here is the label, this is the 5525th gun produced at the beginning !"

"Hey, then this thing is worth a lot. If a hundred-year-old gun can be used, I dare say it can sell for at least 20,000 yuan!" The treasure hunter said enviously.

Hans said: "Twenty thousand? Guys, do you see the silver paint on the surface?! Do you see the patterns on the silver paint?! I bet this is a custom-made gun!"

In this regard, Li Du is confident that the gun must be an old gun from the original factory, otherwise Xiao Chong would not be attracted to it. As for whether it is a customized model, it is hard to say.

A treasure hunter squeezed in, picked up a gun and said, "Let me see this badge."

Hans handed him the gun, and introduced to Li Du: "Tim Troy, he knows all the noble families in Europe and America..."

"The pelican is surrounded by thorny roses. There is a shield in front of the pelican. What is on the shield? Needless to say, it is a crossed sword! Now, I know who owns this gun!" Troy yelled. Broken Hans' words.

"Whose family?" The treasure hunters asked curiously.

Troy said: "The Rudolph family of Boston, a noble descendant active in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries."

As he spoke, he shook his head: "But now there is very little news about them. They were hard-core allies with the Japanese during World War II. After we went to war with the Japanese, many of their businesses went bankrupt."

Hans was elated: "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 come across such an opportunity? God is not fair!"

Freddy was even more jealous. He said in disbelief: "I found this gun in an old house? Impossible! Who would throw such a gun away?!"

Li Du smiled and said: "Who knows? God bless good people, man, don't be so hostile in life and work in the future, and be a good person."

Hans said: "It's really dangerous. Fortunately, I paid 4,000 yuan in the end! Otherwise, this house would not be ours!"

Freddy was vomiting blood with jealousy, the house almost belonged to him, just a little bit!
