Ed,
I wrote a rough draft of an editorial that I was going to post on the forum concerning my feelings about test eagles that didn't look like "test" weapons. I sent it to one of our more noted experts on test eagles for his approval and he reminded me that some of the test eagles went to West Point and other similar places where they might not have been subjected to the harsh treatment one might expect of a test weapon. With that, I backed off, but I am still somewhat bothered when I see these like new test eagles that look like someone took one on the day DWM delivered them and hid in a desk drawer until some lucky gun dealer happened upon it one hundred plus years later.

Mike
