Gentlemen,
I would opine that if one has to go to the lengths that these discussions are reaching to rationalize legitimacy, then something is terribly wrong. Occam's Razor is a good principle in both philosophy and collecting:the shortest logical answer is most likely the correct answer.
If you have to resort to "coulda, maybe dida and possibly hadda" then I would suggest you are barking up the wrong tree.
The markings on the takedown tool and the pistol, are clearly bogus, IMHO. One would have to really strain credulity to believe otherwise.
