Walk Through of Million Dollar Collection

I was pretty young so I don't remember excactly. I think the Ruckle's was the family name, my dad was good friends with them. They lived on Saltspring Island on the west coast and I'm sure their property is a provincial park now. They had guns that were wall papered all over the house. I loved going there as a kid, seeing old blunderbuss pistols and shotguns . Old 22's, common and custom rifles, old war rifles, old handguns. He had a Derringer that he was pretty proud of, I liked it too. There was one single shot 22 that was a walking cane, the trigger flipped out near the curve of the cane handle, it was a break action and there was a cap that unscrewed at the bottom of the cane to protect the barrel. That house full of guns back in the 80's helped fuel my interest in guns. When the storage laws changed the cops made the owner take them all down. I don't know what happened to his collection.
