Oh what I wouldn't give to have my dad say he had or wanted to sell one of his guns or boat. With that said, I feel like said a few posts back, buy it from him now. Put in your safe. It is still his now and that makes you the richest person between you and I anyhow because you still have him with you and you can help him out in his time of need as I'm sure he feels bad to even have to ask you to buy these things. When my father passed, I brought what guns I could gather asap and put in my safe then a few days or so later, gave the ones my dad told me were to be my brothers over to him. (a thief also helped himself to items before I could get everything out and locked...such as the 22 insert for the 8mm he brought home from ww2...I got the insert but they got the bolt/mag from a drawer) still looking for replacement. The big thing is my brother ended up selling the ones he got for beer/drug money.....still bothers me he did that but back to your situation. If you want something like that to keep as fond memories buy it from him now or be satisfied he had it and enjoyed it during his time. I just see things this way. It wasn't mine before and if it isn't mine after the passing, so be it...can't loose what ya never had anyhow and if ya want one bad enough, you will buy one yourself...hey...then pass that one on.
