John
thank you. I am still friends with the guy who wanted to sell me that 1904 navy. He was badly hurt when I showed him copies of emails I had received and of the posts on the forum. He had that gun for a long time and truly believed that he had a real one for a number of years.

At first, we talked about selling/buying it for $8000. Then he saw that Shattuck sold one for $10,000 and then Simpson came out with one for $35,000. Simpson emphasized that his 1904 had the "short" rabbit ears on the extractor. Thats when I got on the forum to learn more. I didn't think that there would be that many just floating around.
