Travelling around the world looking for firearms and trying to save them from getting smelted down and turned into some cheap souvenir for tourists, sounds nice, sure 98 percent disappointment and huge bureaucratic nightmares, but that 2% of pure delight in finding stuff, saving it from the smelter, and selling it to people who actually appreciate the firearm, would make it all worth it for me.
(yes this is a major simplification, due to not having any idea how these things are done)
Reminds me of the show where the collector sent a team to find him some ww2 aircraft he needed for his collection. so they busted their arses looking for the wrecks in order to see if they could be brought home.... sad though, its probably easier to bring a plane wreck into the country than it is to bring a shipment of collectable firearms... oh canada.
