I’ve held on to it for 60 yrs, now there’s no one with a licence in my family to pass it onto

I've got the same issue. My Dad's was a single shot German Joosten from pre WWII. I think Joosten disappeared under a hail of bombs never to reopen. At any rate I still have that rifle, haven't fired it for maybe 30 years, but cannot part with it because of its sentimental value. My kids are all girls so no passing down there.
