Aww - thanks Tom... I mean that - but, I think just about anyone on the Forum would assist another Member the same way, in my mind. If I was looking at Navies - I'd ask if you'd assist, and would absolutely trust you, your experience and knowledge as well. It's sort of what this little area of the Internet is all about in my mind. I know I'm not alone....
Now - not you give you a swelled head about your 1943 RIG - it is the single best double-matched MAG 1943 RIGS it's been my pleasure to examine - and there are precious few of them known and verified as returned (rather then assembled post-war)... It's a keeper.
As well, I was pleasantly surprised when Mr. Still provided some photos and his observations on his Forum which overall, cooberated my analysis. I had no idea he had the opportunity to look at it first hand - which is terrific. In my mind - that too - is what this "collecting" thing is all about. For the newer folks, you can visit Mr. Still's Forums here:
