I don't like mismatched gun, especially when the price was paid for a matched gun's value.

Over past 4-5 years, I returned two Cone Hammers, two Small Rings, two Red 9s, two Bolos, and two 1930s. Some were totally unacceptable, some were marginally OK, but considering the cost, no.

Your experiences don't speak well for online sellers (I'm assuming gunbroker style buys?). Have you had anyone balk at you wanting to return one? This broomhandle I purchased was my first online buy, and I feel I did okay, even though I had to fiddle with it to make it work.

Without spouse's tolerance, it's impossible to acquire any collectible gun, or at most, one or two pieces.

fully agree with you on that, pictures are good but nothing like hands on inspection.
