I would smack one of my friends parents.
Two of my friends were rummagin around in their parents attic when they found an original WWII Lugar with all matching serial numbers, the nazi party marks and I think it also had a lanyard ring or something that made t considerably more sought after.
Apparently, after bringing it back from the war, his grandad had bought a box of ammuniition (which we found with the gun), fired a magazines worth of ammo, and then put the gun and the ammunition up in the attic where they stayed for more than fifty years....uncleaned.
It cleaned up surprisingly well, the barrel was a little pitted and there was some surface rust, but that was the only real damage. If he had taken care of that pistol it would have been worth a small fortune, but as it was, my friend was able to buy it from the family for I think it was 150 dollars.
