Jerry,
I hope that in no way did I hammer you. I have been on this forum for a long time and you and Ron Wood are two guys that are in a class of your own. If I gave the appearance that I thought any different then I apologize.

Thanks to Don M's good pictures of the arty in question, it is clear that comments about possible bluing of the thumb safety and mag release button can be put aside. It is just a problem of some pretty bad patina on these parts. Maybe we should send Simpson a note recommending Don M or Norme to go to Simpsons place and teach him how to take better pictures or lighten up the ones that he does take. Thanks guys.

There is another 1918 artillery on Gun Broker. Better pictures. But at $3900, I didn't look at it very long.
