What is the possesion you place the most personal or sentimental value on? It could be an old shotgun, passed down through the family, or perhaps a rebuilt classic car, or maybe even a house. For me, its probably my Winchester Model 12 20 gauge, which was my great-grandfathers, and has been handed down in my family.

I dont have much material wealth. Maybe my health.. Aside from that... I have my first gun, an old Marlin 100 22lr. The bolt broke off years ago and my grandfather welded it back on. Then my first shotgun, an 870 Wingmaster TB. Gorgeous stock. Used a lot when I was a kid. Now a safe queen.
Have an Orvis Trident I got for my birthday from my wife.. My Aircrew wings that our Skipper pinned me with.. My flag that was flown over the USS Misouri in Pearl Harbor.. My dress blues.. It's funny how the most valued things are seldom the most expensive.. |

M1D 95% condition. Only one gouge in the stock, and a fairly minor one at that.
My Ruger Magnum has proven to bee the finest hunting rifle I own, and purty. It has been at my shoulder for the most memorable and life-affirming moments of my life. It may not be the most "valuable" artifact I own, but it was with me when a good friend, now gone, paid for the two of us to go on a brown bear hunt in his native Alaska. The weather was cold and rainy and the melt swollen streams froze us to the bone, but that hunt will forever be my minds tribute to a lost friend. Rolex Submariner. Good watch, damn near indestructible, gift from now past grandmother. |

My grandfathers colt 1911 and SW model 10 he left me...i love that man

Until she is 18... I am legaly liable for anything she does, so she belongs to me. And I think that many parents would feel the same. If you mean inanitmate objects, I would have to say the 'sleeping angel' painting that my mother did for my daughter. |
|
|
Probably my computer... about $2000 worth of equipment in there.
At least, until I become rich and famous, and my early photo prints sell for tens of thousands. |
|
Theres this ring I have... I keep it in a felt lined box. Sometimes I take it out and just stare at it for awhile. Sometimes I have dreams about it... like I'll be dreaming that I'm staring at it and I can hear this "EE! EE! EE!" scary music in the background...

Three memories: each one of my three children's births.
I had taken LaMaz training and was right there in the OR for all three. Each was born on a sunny warm day, all three got top APGAR scores from the hospital personnel, and the Almighty has been kind and granted them all good health. Can't ask for any more than that. Even better is the fact I can't lose or misplace these treasures, and no one can steal them because I have them safely tucked away inside me... |
|
Health.
No doubt about it. Without it all riches and possessions are as dirt. Dram out |
|
My life.
Which includes this nation and my Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. And I'll do anything and everything to protect all of the above |
|
My hands and my eyes. If I had to forego a body part, I'd rather lose a leg than an arm. If my eyes and hands remain healthy and in tact, I can still work and be a productive member of society.

Material possession other than my home would be my 02 GMMG C5R Supercharged 427 ZL-1 camaro (#51) built by the same racer that GM gave the first free 69 ZL-1 to.

My car and my Glock 22. They were the first car and gun I bought for myself with my own money. By far the nicest car and gun I've had to.
|
|
Nice, got any pics? Mine would have to be my guns. They are near me at every moment of every day. |

A good reputation and name. Only you can truly lose it. And once lost, almost impossible to replace.

My integrity. It cannot be taken from me. I own it, and no one else.

You guys are awful.

My M1 carbine that was given to me by my late grandfather.
It means so much to me on so many levels. |

An entire collection of apollo space mission shoulder patches. 1 from each apollo space mission , one of them that went into space. I don't have it in front of me, so I can't tell you which one , but it is the only irreplacable thing I own.

UH - I've got some pics over at LS1.tech. I ain't smart enough to post 'em here. Look in the Racer's Lounge or Special Edition Vehicles (?).
