Good Grief, Death, if you and I continue to agree like this who knows what will happen. Thad also, unlike some dealers who treat guns as a commodity to be bought and sold, has a genuine love of firearms. I never had a gun misdescribed to me nor did I ever have a problem if I needed to return a gun, a very rare instance when I dealt with him. I bought some of my favorites from him, including several British falling blocks that he had an uncanny nack of locating for me. The prices were always right, and the rifles 100% as described. I too will miss him and hope his health at least remains stable, if it does not improve. Dave
