Strange Inheritance ~ Civil War

[Mike Serpa]

Strange Inheritance was a TV in the U.S. from 2015-2018. It tells the story of people who inherit "strange" items. This episode was about Civil War items. Should she take a cash offer or sell items at auction?

Fabulous collection! Thanks for sharing this video!

It's like the gentleman that collected all the items in the "Military Museum" in Gettysburg. His son said that he had to climb over a WWI water cooled maxim machine gun to get in and out of bed. His father collected all the items back when it was just considered junk.

Thanks for the link. Great collection! I cringed when the host tried on the forage cap! Nice that they at least kept the Kentucky long rifle.

That was really interesting. I've never heard of that series. I would have loved to have had the log with the ammo lodged in it.

I think the auctioneer cringed too! I thought the way she tugged on it, it was going to rip!

America is just full of gun nuts. Do other countries have them too?

I have watched several episodes on youtube. All have been interesting.

My guess is...no. How many countries allow private gun ownership?

I've seen 10-20 episodes. I really liked the show. Didn't they do one about the guy who made all the Confederate ship models?

I'm a newbie so if this has been covered before please forgive me. Also my first thread.​

​

I like to watch a show on Fox Business Ch. called Strange Inheritance. The title of this one was PICKETT'S CHARGE. The upshot was descendent George E. Pickett V had personal items of the General(kepi, jacket,etc) that were handed down to him.​

​

He had taken no interest in them & sold them. Soon after the buyer re-sold to the Harrisburg CW Museum reaping ten times the amount he paid. G.P. V insists he was ripped-off, IMO it is not only buyer but seller beware! What do you think?​

​

The episodes of the show are regularly repeated. ​

A lot.

Oh, okay. You want to facts to nullify my opinion?
