Hello Ted,
I have always thought you should come up with a more artist mark or even a nice "thor" stamping...similar to the VONO or the R. Fluckiger stampings (on some Swiss reworks) and stamp it proudly on the right side of the frame.
In a few years down the road, I think the pistols that have gone through your hands will be as desired, by some, as those reworks by Gale Morgan, John Martz, VONO, Fluckiger, etc...
And after your passing (God forbid...), your pistols will be legendary and you will be slightly immortal...and remembered..!
Hope the purists do not tar & feather me... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
Hello Bill M.,
Just recently I saw several Gale Morgan restorations on a table at Reno along side some factory-original finished works. I could not tell the difference other than the Morgan works had absolutely no wear. In a few years when these Morgan reworks gain some wear patterns, over time, I can imagine they could be resold as originals...(I assume G. Morgan does not do any stamp, but I could be wrong on this point).
I have always appreciated Ted's markings and would hope he continues to do so...
Regards,
Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
