Thank you Pete,
Your thoughtful insights are always welcome. I'm glad I brought this before the Forum for coment. Your suggestions are good. I'm glad I was allowed to photograph it and bring it before the Forum. Now I have a better perspective. No one was ever injured by having a little cold water thrown on his overheated enthusiasm. IĆ¢??m sure I can eventually find a Navy piece to pass inspection though it may be too expensive to dare to shoot. I am very reluctant to buy anything off an auction or online store, especially from out of state. I want to see it and touch it. At a gun show I would be at the mercy of whomever without an expert along.
Thanks again, all, for all your help.
Russell
