Pete, Do you honestly think that Brad would recieve an answer that was worth having from any of the questions you propose? There is no plausible answer to this. When have you ever heard of someone standing up and saying, yeah, it was me! I did it. Like John said in one of his previous posts, unless someone comes up with the pistol involved and can trace actual provenance the chain of possesion is in doubt. So Brad flicked a little mud at Ralph...when you end up with what is percieved as a faked pistol in your possesion you are the obvious place to start asking funny questions. Why don't you ask the most important question...Where is Ralph Shattuck on this? He was the last person we know of to have this pistol . No less than Jan Still and Brad Simpson have stated their case. And made what you percieve to be accusations. If there is to be any better understanding of this it seems to me there is only one person who could shed any light on it. Looked up to by so many I would emagine Ralph might want to step up to the plate and tell what he knows and when he knew it. If he chooses to remain silent then we can form our own thoughts from that. Jerry Burney
