Shooting from the hip...
Alot of great advise given so far. I read each post & I thought if it's possible, maybe get your children together around the collection and just start having a conversation.
They will probably ask questions about different guns and you can segue way into what your thinking & get their thoughts. I'm all for give it to them sooner than later it will allow you share your experiences and bond something together with the firearm. I believe this gives you a great opportunity to make the item more sentimental them as well.
Personally, for me a gun/item with history is the one that interest me the most. The fact that it meant something to someone else to me is gold.

This is what I like too. Most of the collection are first year models and some are very old.. I have a 1905 3rd year of production Auto 5, a couple from 1944-45 when they were limited to servicemen, along with the Model 11's and 720's, first year standard and light 16's and sweet 16's. First year superposed, etc.. I don't have personal stories with many but they all have historical value if you're obsessed with JMB like me..
