It's nice to know that someone actually took the time to track down the original owner of this firearm after such a long, long time!  Perhaps there is hope for humanity!

nice, it was ment to be

Something similar happened to a friend in Florida. 10+ years prior his car was stolen with his CCW in it. He reported the gun stolen. The car was found stripped and torched (a 64 split window corvette). One day out of the blue he gets a call from Miami PD asking if he could come down to Miami to pick up his gun. Some gang banger got picked up and had the pistol in his car about a year before and it was sitting in the evidence locker and the gang banger was convicted so the case was closed. The pistol was in rough shape so he sent it out to a gunsmith to have it cleaned up and still has the gun today.  

Good cop. Above and beyond the call of duty. Must have been trying to avoid some tedious task

 

"I don't know the history of it. I don't know if it was used to hurt someone over the years," he said. His father took him to buy the 20-gauge shotgun, and Pittenger used it to hunt rabbits with his friends.

That's pretty funny. I know there are plenty of people here with unknown body counts on their guns, especially all the WWII guns.
