Chapter 161 Story
“Incredible” Sean’s grandfather once again admired the pistol.
“The shield, lion, and unicorn are the emblems of the Windsor royal family, proving that this pistol was manufactured under royal supervision. The pattern on the bottom is only roses and lacks clover, which represents the original everything of this pistol. The person did not have complete royal power, and the emblem was slightly missing because he chose it in order not to overstep his bounds. It is likely that he was a member of the royal family at that time who had not been crowned with a title. "
“There is a relief of a sword wrapped with roses on the handle of the gun. It should have been carved later, which means that the recipient received this weapon because of his great military service.”
Then the old man turned over the gun number, "Produced in 1941, there is a unique letter E at the bottom, which should be the abbreviation of the gun owner's name."
"In 1941, among the uncrowned royal family members, combined with this initial letter, there should be only one person who could meet these three conditions at the same time..."
The old man finally let out a sigh of relief and spoke out. conclusion.
"Queen Elizabeth in her teenage years."
"Wow~" Everyone in the room except He Chi exclaimed.
After looking at He Chi's unsurprised expression, the old man stroked the body of the gun and said, "Young man, you already knew the origin of this gun, right?"
"Well, the original owner told me when I got it, but there was no certificate or anything like that." He Chi did not deny it.
"So can you give me the bazooka?" He Chi brought the question back to the original point.
"No problem, just like we agreed at the beginning, as long as you bring out the top collection, I will give it to you!" The old man patted the big wooden box, and then tried it carefully Asked "Have you ever thought about selling it..."
"Sorry, sir, it is not for sale." He Chi refused without thinking, with the same tone as the old man at the beginning.
"Well, it's a very wise judgment. If I were to sell this priceless treasure, I wouldn't sell it." The old man shrugged unsurprisingly, and then added a condition in a retreat, "But you can let me Want to make a rubbing? This priceless treasure, even a copy of the mold is extremely valuable.”
"That's no problem." He Chi agreed without much hesitation.
The special liquid is poured into the sandbox, and then the pistol is pressed on it. After the liquid inside cools down again, a printed pistol is demoulded and formed.
The old man accepted the mold and handed the entire bazooka box to He Chi, thus completing the transaction.
"If you have any other good things, welcome to come again." This is what the old man said when he was leaving.
He Chi left with Laura, and the second-hand supplies store became quiet again. The old man was holding the newly made grinding tools and still studying the prints on it, while Sean looked at the expression of the girl who had disappeared. Feeling disappointed.
"Why don't you just catch up and at least tell her what's on your mind." The old man said behind his grandson.
"I, I feel like I'm not worthy of her, and..." Sean lowered his head and responded sarcastically.
"Hey, my grandson, hesitation will only harm you. If you speak out bravely, at least there is a possibility of success." After the old man finished speaking, he looked at his still listless grandson and continued, "Actually, that person The guest's pistol may have a hidden historical value, which even he may not know. "What is it? Grandpa." When it came to the question of antique guns, Sean cheered up again.
"Did you know that Queen Elizabeth has a sister who has a lot of scandals?" the old man asked, stroking the print on his hand. "I know, I learned it in books, it's Princess Margaret." Sean nodded and answered.
"The fundamental reason why Margaret has so many scandals is that she does not have to bear the responsibilities of the royal family and can indulge herself unscrupulously. Her private stories are one foot high when compiled." The old man said here. After a pause, "There is a short story that once had something to do with Queen Elizabeth."
"Oh? I've never heard of this." Sean forgot his previous frustration and joined in with great interest. Come over.
“According to Margaret, she said after a drunken hangover that her sister, the Queen, also had a yearning for someone of the opposite sex when she was young, but ultimately chose to marry the future Philip. Prince, and judging from the size of this pistol, Specially given to men..."
"The men who asked the young queen to personally deliver the gun...Oh, I understand, Grandpa!" Sean jumped up. "You mean the original owner of this pistol may be. The person the Queen admires!”
"This is just my guess." The old man smiled and put the sandbox back into the display cabinet. "This is the meaning of antiques. They will always inadvertently open up a corner of time and let us see what is behind the curtain called history." , but that’s not what I want to say today.”< br>
“It is both a kind of sustenance and a kind of regret to pass on the undelivered feelings with objects. If you speak out many things boldly when you are young, you will not regret it when you look back on your life.” The old man After speaking, he winked at his grandson.
Only then did Sean realize that his grandfather was using the story behind this pistol to encourage him. He nodded gently, "Grandpa, I understand."
No. 156 Wutong Street, He Chi was dismantling the bazooka rocket in the yard, and the scattered things were spread out on the floor.
And Laura was wearing a pair of hot pants, sitting alone on the flower stand in the yard and putting ice cream into her mouth.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! !
The automatic security alarm suddenly sounded. This was specially installed to prevent people like Steve Kaufman from coming over to cause trouble. However, it has not sounded for a long time after the last series of incidents. .
The monitor came on, and there was a man wearing a hood spinning around repeatedly at the back door of the villa.
"I'll go! This time is so boring!" Seeing the suspicious person, Laura became excited and picked up a pistol placed in the room in two steps.
"He, let me go and see together. I'm a little worried about Laura being alone." Lisa came out of the kitchen, holding a women's Browning in her hand.
"Wait, let her go by herself, maybe there will be an unexpected harvest." He Chi stopped Lisa who didn't know why, looked at the familiar figure on the monitor and said.
Shaun has been wandering outside the door for a while. His fingers have touched the doorbell several times but he just didn't have the courage to press it.
Click, the familiar sound of a pistol being loaded, and a cold pipe pressed against the back of his head.
Sean slowly raised his hand, deftly revealing the pocket containing his mobile phone and wallet
"The money is in there, just one hundred and fifty yuan, you can take it yourself , don’t shoot.”
The people behind didn't seem to hear what he said, so they forcibly twisted him around and pulled off his hood.
A pair of beautiful big eyes appeared in front of Sean.
