My 'New' 1902 Fat Barrel AE

Norm,

I re-sent an email from you a few months back. From re-reading that email, it appears the FB was not from Jerry Peters but out of MN as I posted earlier.

Look forward to your posting of your FB photos...I never mind if I am proven wrong about my opinions...

For your sake, I hope I am proven wrong with my opinion your FB is a nicely done (but not 100% correctly done) rework...

That is really crappy news about J. Peters and the HK affair...if fellow collectors do not stand by their WORD, what the heck is wrong with our "hobby"...

Suspect you got stuck with a questionable gun...maybe like he did...

I hear all the time from others in collecting that one "little secret" no one wants to talk about and certainly not ADMIT TO is that they do pass one bad gun onto the next less-unfortunate fellow that might not know all he should...

Rather than taking the loss and selling the picece as it is, they want to recoupe their monies and even make a BIG profit...as a guy recently confided to me he is doing...

IMHO...this is as bad as the boosters and spurious dealers out there...
