Definitely worth a follow-up IMO.

BTW: The 1911 is in my safe now...
Thanks Olle, now my day is going to be completely ruined just thinking of the possibilities. It had occurred to me that the ad could have been placed by a family member of a deceased, previous owner and they had no knowledge or interest in firearms.
