Based on the facts that you have provided, if it is in fact a gift, it is your property. The challenge may be to prove that it was a gift, although your father may have the challenge of proving that it was not a gift. Dates of transfer may help to characterize the transfer, e.g. given on birthday, Christmas, graduation, etc. would suggest it was a gift.
