I won't and can't give a lot of specifics. Last fall, I was called out by an officer on a strange, very strange find. A bank was opening unused safety deposit boxes. For some reason there were not any records of the person who rented this one out or when. If I could tell the whole story, it was not the bank's fault. Inside were 15 rare guns complete in their display wood boxes. The cleaning rods were not used. All of the guns had target hammers and triggers. There were also several makes and models. Each were engraved and had never been fired. I tried the trigger pull on several. It was an honor to hold some of the heavy framed guns. Some were laced with gold and each were special in their own right. There were some that were the same model only in a 4, 6 and 8 inch barrel.
I have to give credit to the staff. The manager called his boss who came to inspect the find. He stated that they would make every effort to match the serial numbers with the manufactures to get them back to the rightful family. He stated that the state does not seize weapons from the safety deposit boxes and if they coud not be found, they would be sold at auction and the proceeds would go to a charity.
