Ever been cleaning and found a knife you forgot about?

How about a shotgun? I sent this to Turnbull in 98 to see if he had a extra set of barrels that could be fit to it and Turnbull had nothing and sent it back. I put it up and promptly forgot about it. Today while doing some spring cleaning I found a shotgun case and opened it to find the Parker. This is a nice tight 12 gauge VH #1 frame manufactured in 1900 with great bores. I did shoot it some with my 2 1/2 inch loads and even shot a few straights on the skeet field. I think this will be restored and then passed down at some point. Pairs up nicely with a Russell Barlow I just bought.

lost/forgot the gun for 10 years...who's surprised I put it in the wrong forum?...lol
 
Nice gun! I've done it with a few knives, but never a gun. I'm looking for one of my Doziers right now...
 
Now if you find a lost mossberg 590 send it my way.:D I miss place my surefire z2 light along with four of my speed loader for my 686p. Damn house of stuff!:mad:
 
I've done that with both knives and an old revolver. However, the most embarrassing incidents have been when I got excited about a knife and bought it---only to discover that I already owned one. What's worse, I once did that twice with the same knife so now I have two extras to give as gifts! [And I'm only 53 with no other signs of early-onset Alzheimer's!]

I do that with books.... I get all excited when a favorite author writes something new and I buy it, pour a nice glass of Merlot and sit down to enjoy.... Halfway through the first chapter I say...."this all seems very familiar" and I realize I read it 6 months ago and this is the reprint with a different cover......IDIOT!!!! So I down the bottle of red in the hope it will improve my memory.....:o never seems to though....
