The site is back

Through viewing his restoration work, it's obvious that C&R is very domain oriented. For the guns that I don't know, looking at his work, I cannot tell that's restored, because I don't know what an original one should look like. For example:

Looks good? Well, that depends on how an original one in similar condition should look like. No comparison. No idea. Is this British...

Internet not only helps collectors, also helps restorers. 20-shot conehammer restored by Gale Morgan in 1980s appeared in auction. Of course, much better done. But have obvious errors. Surprise. Why? Probably not because he intentionally left a few holes there.. most likely, no enough information in 1980s.
