Chapter 1196

The seven box guns, in principle, have all belonged to Gaoyang, but before confirming that the guns can be used, and as Federer claims, all accessories are original goods, the formalities can not be handled and the money can not be paid. The transaction can only be completed after test firing and verification.

For antique guns, whether they can be used or not, the price is on the ground one by one, and they can be used only if they are all original accessories. Otherwise, the value will be several times worse.

Federer sells guns at a high price, which is far beyond the market. Even if Gao Yang doesn't ask, Federer has to take the gun apart and let Gao Yang see the internal state. Now Gao Yang wants to go to the shooting range with him, which is naturally waiting for another verification after arriving at the shooting range.

The gun still belongs to Federer for the time being, so Federer carefully put away the guns one by one, carefully packed the bag, and there is no need to put the stall again. After cleaning up, he will go home.

With excitement, Gao Yang temporarily left the gun exhibition and drove behind Federer's car all the way to the suburbs of Los Angeles.

Federer had a big house in the suburbs. After inviting Gao Yang to his house, Federer didn't waste any time and directly invited Gao Yang to his collection room.

Federer has devoted his whole life to the collection of Mauser c96, so his collection room is a treasure house for them.

There are hundreds of boxes and cannons. Mauser's original and imitation products are all collected in glass cabinets. The glass cabinets are made of bulletproof glass, which can be used as both a display stand and an anti-theft safe. These glass display cabinets alone are expensive.

Jack said that Federer was the largest player specialized in collecting Mauser c96, which was true.

Looking at the box guns all over the room has a great visual impact on Gao Yang. That is, Federer has been collecting them all his life. Otherwise, it's not easy to gather so many different types of guns.

After taking Gao Yang and them to the collection room, Federer said proudly: "please see, I like that one. You can take it out and watch it carefully. There are no two guns here that are exactly the same. Even if there is one gun type, there are subtle differences in production year and details."

There was a pistol in a separate cabinet. Under the pistol was a piece of paper with some characteristics of the gun written on it. Gao Yang stood in front of the cabinet, looked at it, and said to Federer with astonishment: "this gun is the initial experimental version?"

Federer said proudly: "yes, the prototype experimental gun can be fired, original parts."

Looking at Gao Yang with a surprised face, Federer smiled like a child satisfied with vanity. He stood beside Gao Yang and said proudly, "do you want to take it out?"

Gao Yang was stunned and immediately said, "of course I want to have a look, if I can."

Federer waved his hand and said with a smile, "this is my baby, but you can see it. Wait a minute, I'll take it out for you. Please wait a minute, I'll get the key."

Federer walked briskly to get the key to the safe when Jack smiled at Gao Yang: "Mr. Federer treats you differently. You know, he never lets you touch his treasure collection. You know, Mr. Federer is recognized as the first collector in this field. He can open a weapons Museum produced by Mauser company. No one has a more complete collection than him."

Gao Yang also feels very lucky. How to say, allowing private ownership of guns, especially the proliferation of guns, is a big problem for public security, but it is a blessing for gun lovers and collectors. That is, in the United States, it is possible to have a big collector like Federer, because in other countries, even if private ownership of guns is allowed, it is more important Strict regulations make many guns not allowed to be held by private people at all.

Without waiting long, Federer came back with a bunch of keys, opened the glass showcase and took out his most valuable prototype gun.

The prototype gun reflects the initial stage of a gun from scratch. There is nothing special about it. In the final analysis, it is a feeling and collection value.

Gao Yang took the gun in his hand, played with it for a moment, took a look, and thought about how it felt to be held by people at that time when the gun was just built more than 100 years ago.

Gao Yang didn't even ask Federer if he would sell the prototype gun, because he knew it was impossible, so he didn't have to ask.

When Gao Yang looked at the gun, Federer said with a smile: "I originally planned to set up a private museum to display all the light weapons of Mauser company, mainly Mauser c96. However, there are too few people playing this gun, the circle is too small, and the sales of the museum are large, so I think this wish is unlikely to come true."

Mauser c96, or box gun, is really well known in China, but few people pay attention to this gun outside China, even in Germany, the country of origin. Although some people play it, there are too few players compared with M1911, P08 and p38 guns.

Federer seemed a little sad. After that, he waved his hand, looked helpless and smiled: "I have spent my whole life collecting c96 and my financial resources. I will never sell everything in this room. It's not easy to collect these guns, but after I die that day, I don't know where these guns will be scattered. Hey, whatever."

Gao Yang thought for a moment, but said cautiously, "do you have children?"

Federer nodded and said with a smile, "yes, I have two daughters and two sons, but they don't like my collection. I think they will leave a few to commemorate. The rest should have a big low-cost promotion."

After that, Federer shrugged helplessly and said: "life is like this. In fact, we shouldn't consider so much, right? It's selfish to invest too much in our hobbies. Don't think about what our family will pay for their hobbies after death."

Federer seems to be in his seventies. The problem he worries about is really a very realistic problem. Gao Yang doesn't know how to interface, so he can only respond in silence.

After playing with the prototype gun for a while, he raised his hands and handed it to Federer.

Federer is a very principled old man. Seeing Gao Yang, he is willing to let Gao Yang enjoy and play with his baby. After Gao Yang carefully returns the gun to Federer, he completely ignores one side and looks at his Jack and Li JinFang. He immediately puts the gun into the glass cabinet and carefully adjusts the position of the gun, Then the glass cabinet was locked.

Old child, old child, Federer is now acting like an old child. He can talk and laugh with the right eye. As for others, he ignored them all.

Gao Yang thinks Federer is too cute, but in the eyes of Cui Bo and Li JinFang, he thinks the old man is too hateful.

Morgan, Taylor and Jack were completely hung aside. Although the three people also love guns, it's OK to have a look. It's not like they've been watching all the time. Fortunately, Federer's wife is a sincere person. She warmly greeted them to the living room, where they can have a cup of coffee and wait for them.

Cui Bo and Li JinFang are also very interested in the box gun. Although Federer doesn't pay attention to it, they also watch it all the way. There is Ye Lianna. She has been around Gao Yang and is very interested in listening to the dialogue between Federer and Gao Yang.

Federer has to talk to Gao Yang in front of each gun. Federer can tell the origin of each gun. Gao Yang, that is, he can recognize several common guns, but he can also talk with Federer on a gun. Therefore, Gao Yang has gained a lot of knowledge, while Federer has found a very good audience.

It's hard to find confidants. Of course, there are also collectors who entertain themselves, but most collectors certainly hope to have more friends, talk about the collection, enjoy the collection, listen to others' sincere praise for their collection, and exchange experience and experience with each other. This is originally a great fun of collection.

Federer looks at Gao Yang more and more pleasing to his eyes. He has a great sense of confidant for Gao Yang. When he is happy, Federer waves his big hand and smiles at the guns in the room: "Gao, you know, I picked out the best guns and put them here, but I still have many guns of the same model. The ones I sold to you are those I have surplus and good-looking guns. Now, as long as I have surplus, all of them can be sold. You can have a look later."

Gao Yang said with a smile, "well, I'm going to have a bumper harvest today. I don't know what to say. I can only say that today is my lucky day."

Finally, after reading all the display guns Federer put in the glass cabinet, Federer waved to Gao Yang and said, "follow me, go to my storage room, where there are more guns, I can sell whatever you like!"

Although Federer sells guns instead of giving them away, when he said this sentence, he was as frightened as he was. He was really reluctant to give up. Although Gao Yang is not a collector and can only be regarded as a player for self entertainment, he understands Federer's feelings very much.

For Gao Yang, as long as he took the gun into his bag, he must like it. It's impossible for him to sell it again.

Although he was not young, Federer walked steadily. He took them out of the house and came to a basement that was specially kept dry with a dehumidifier. Federer pointed to the full box and said loudly: "The rest is all here. There are about 260. It's high. Enjoy it slowly, and then pick some guns you like. Let's have a good time!"
