The GUN, a made-for-TV John Badham thing (1974) - gun changes owners
through the years, from manufacture to crime(s)...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071590
There's also John Brahm's (master of the flashback within a flashback
within a flashback) The Locket (1947)
http://grunes.wordpress.com/2007/01/31/the-locket-john-brahm-1946/
...which is different in the sense that it is the stealing of a locket
in childhood which leads to consequences in three flashback sequences
embedded in each other....
