All,
My view tends to be less charitable as I have a set of photographs of an '04 Navy during its being manufactured from other parts and pieces and I know that the gun was sold as original.
It is today held by its owner to be original as he purchased it from the estate of the first victim of the fraud.
The discovery of these parst, nicely but incorrectly renumbered is like finding pornographic pictures of your sweet, dear old dead Auntie as you clean out her house prior to an estate sale: may not like what you see but there can be little doubt as to what was happening.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...
Tom A.
