John, no that would be Bob at the Powder Horn who is a Stand-Up guy. The fellow in the discussion is the shop east of him on Main Street. His name rhymes with one of the more common synonyms for rubber as used in locker room slang.
Bob told me on the phone about the "Mexican" engraved jobs he has on consignment and bemoaned the fact that the perpetrator had to do this to long barrels and a navy of all pieces.
He also indicated that the price reflected the stupidity of someone who would ruin these pistols. As I recall his goal in the transaction was some civil War gear that the "perp" had.
