My favorites are all favorites because of who they belonged to instead of purpose or beauty.
Winchester Model 12, 12 gauge - 1929. I was building living quarters for an old friend. It just appeared in the back seat of my truck one day. A gift. He wanted to "give with warm hands". I did not know how short his remaining time was, he did.

Winchester 1894 pre-64. From a good man who at 80 I thought might outlive me. He was working in the yard one day and sat down to take a break... Absent from the body, present with the Lord.

Not that you asked, Pistol - Browning High Power "T" series. From a friend who I have known since I was 15. He was one of those people who people who made the effort to stay in touch no matter the different directions our lives pulled us. He went out of this world, far too young, on April 1st, I am sure he got a kick out of that.
