Sorry, insurance settlement or not, once the history of the gun was determined it should have been returned to Mr. Buckingham's family.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

There is what is called a bonifide purchaser for value which is someone who pays a fair price for an item with no knowledge of a question of title is entitled to keep it even if the true owner later surfaces. Personally I hope it does end up on display at a Bass Pro or Cabelas or a museum due to its unique history. It would be like looking at one of TR's guns.

From the Parker forum today. 
This Should Please Most Everyone:
"Over 60 years ago, Nash Buckingham revered Fox XE/HE Special built by Burt Becker was lost but recently was found. This gun, with a broken stock, had been in a closet down South and its discovery was the talk of the trade.
The gun, which came to be known as "Bo-Whoop," was made legendary by its owner Nash Buckingham, a well-known sporting writer. As lot No. 1171 came on the block at Julia's on Monday, March 15, the gun estimated at $100/200,000 finally topped out at $201,250, the highlight of a firearms sale that grossed nearly $8.5 million.
The good news was not just the price. Julia's revealed that the buyer was the son of Nash Buckingham's closest friend and hunting companion. The son specifically purchased the gun for the purpose of donating it to the National Ducks Unlimited Headquarters to be displayed in memory of his father, and his father's dear friend, Nash Buckingham."
A complete reveiw will appear in a future edition.
