Cowboy Bill,


Hozitgoin?

I agree with you. I guess the thing that bothers me is how anyone would consider paying the kind of money that a nice Navy commands when they are either uncertain of their own judgment or have doubts about a piece's authenticity.


Some months ago I posted a walk through a potentially interesting "sneak" piece and described in detail z'ackly what I was looking for and what I found in an attempt to share some knowledge. I don't think I got a single off list request for additional information.


My conclusion was that folks either already knew about the tell tale signs I was describing or didn't believe me or didn't care.


And you are right, we have both invested a whole lot of time and $$ in pursuing this hobby, but it has been worth it.
