That is a hard and simple question

Ralph was a very nice man - he also was a car salesman (no offense) - he could and did sell most anything, and many people feel that Ralph sold a lot of fakes. I have friends who have bought from him years ago - people in general like PRETTY guns.

He always treated me good - he also showed up at a show and dealers had 'deals' with him and brought him 12-20 guns (the few times I saw) and he'd bring stuff from Arizona.

Pictures of his show room - the ones on the walls were what you saw of his 'personal' collection and those on the floor were the ones appraised by Legacy Collectibles (I was in Saudi Arabia, so could not go help)
