Chapter 150 Gifts

Listening to Morgan excitedly posting a long list of names, Gao Yang became excited.

"If Alesandro's gun had a status in the collection world like Van Gogh's paintings, how much would this gun cost?"

Hearing Gao Yang's question, Morgan's face was a little embarrassed, and he shrugged, "This, you have to understand that there are very few people who collect antique guns, and this circle is also very small, so you can't expect a gun to sell too high. However, at a Sotheby's auction in London in 1998, an Allesandro gun sold at a high price of 280,000 pounds, but the wear level of that gun is much higher than yours, so I guess your gun can be sold at least 400,000 pounds or more. In addition, your gun has another advantage, that is, this gun has been collected by Queen Victoria, and the stock has the British royal badge and Victoria's signature. This is an orderly inheritance and can add a lot of color to your gun. So, I estimate that your gun can be sold at least 500,000 pounds or more."

Gao Yang touched his chin and sighed, "I thought I could sell for tens of millions, but it turned out that it was only a few hundred thousand."

Morgan said furiously: "Don't make a mistake, the value of art is not determined by the price. Van Gogh and Picasso's paintings can be sold at high prices, but because too many people regard their works as investment targets. Antique gun collectors are the real collection rather than saving for a few years and then selling at high prices."

After yelling, Morgan stroked the hunting rifle in his hand and said with emotion: "I didn't go to London to bid for that gun back then. I always felt very sorry, but God actually borrowed your hand to send me a better one, high, sell it to me, you must sell it to me, don't set the price now. Although I can basically be sure that this gun is genuine, I have not studied the badges in Europe, and there are at least two family badges on your gun and two personal seals. This means that other people have collected this gun. I have no understanding of the inheritance of this gun. I have to go back to the United States to ask an expert to set the price for your gun. High, you must sell it to me."

Gao Yang shrugged and said, "No sell."

Morgan's face became very exciting. He didn't want to force Gao Yang, but he really couldn't bear to let go of the gun that was already in his hand. After the expression on his face changed a few times, Morgan almost said in a pleading tone: "Gao, please think about it again, will you sell it to me? Well, I know this makes you embarrassed. Everyone wants to have their own dream gun. My request is too much. So, please let me appreciate it for a few days? Can a month work? No, a week? How about it?"

"It's yours, you can appreciate it anyway."

"Sorry, what did you say?"

"I mean this gun is not sold, but I can give it to you. This gun is yours now, so you can enjoy it."

Morgan shook his head vigorously and said, "You said you gave me the gun? Oh, God, this is the work of Alesandro! You gave me it with just one sentence?"

"I'm clear enough? Well, I'll repeat, this gun is given to you. This is a small gift from me. I hope you like it. Well, I know you like it very much, but can you not make the expression of crying for me? Don't be too moved. I just like double-barrel hunting rifles, so I chose it from a bunch of guns. I don't know the name Alesandro at all. This gun is not even my dream gun. I like the old gun from World War II. Even if I collect it, I will collect antique guns from World War II, so I give it to you, but remember to return the Mauser 98K and P38 I store in your place to me."

Morgan held the double-barrel hunting rifle tightly in his arms and said with a ferocious look: "I want to let that damn guy see it, let him cry jealously, and he showed off in front of me for half a year with an Alfonso gun. This time I must make him cry. I want to bring this gun to show off at the exhibition of the American Antique Gun Association, so that those guys know that Morgan Reeves has a work of Alesandro, and it is the work of the most perfect appearance, or a work collected by the British royal family members who love hunting. I am going to be famous!"

Morgan looked like a child who received a beloved gift. Judging from Morgan's gritting teeth, he might have been ridiculed for lacking a sufficient collection. Now he can't wait to show off his beloved things to everyone.

Gao Yang laughed and said, "I wish you can calm everyone down and I wish you a happy mood when showing off."

Morgan looked joyful and nodded heavily, and said solemnly: "Happiness comes too suddenly. I am a little out of control. High, thank you for your gift. I like it very much. Do you say you like the old guns from World War II? Very good, you like those, tell me."

Gao Yang thought for a while and said, "I like the German and American team light weapons, but that is my favorite, well, let me think about it..."

"Needless to say, are the German and American guns? I know, I will find you all the guns in the German and American style, and it is guaranteed to be the best collection. Every part is original. Also, do you like M1911, right? I have a prototype test gun of 1911, which is one of the batch of test guns that Browning personally supervised and produced at the Colt Hartford factory. Although it has not been tested at the limit, it is also well preserved. Now it is yours. I will bring you next time I see you."

In Gao Yang's view, the first batch of prototypes to participate in the bidding were much more precious than Alexandro's works, so Gao Yang's eyes shone. He grabbed Morgan's hand and shouted: "Trade!"

Morgan shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, this is not a deal. This is you gave me a gift, and then I will give it back. Please, it's just a prototype gun. How can it be compared to Alesandro's works? If this is a deal, I would be ashamed."

Gao Yang felt that he had taken a big advantage, and few military fans were not interested in World War II. Although it was not difficult to get a gun from World War II, it would be difficult to find a gun with perfect appearance and complete originality and reach the level of collection. Now Morgan not only gave Gao Yang a prototype gun of M1911, but also promised to give Gao Yang all German and American teams light weapons. This reward gift was too heavy.

Even if he gave Gao Yang one million pounds, Gao Yang might not be able to get all these guns together. Of course, it is not that the money is not enough, but that he does not have the opportunity and time to collect the guns he likes.
