On the mistaken/mispelled/misunderstood name...

Consider the numerous common cheap turn of the century Belgian guns marked "W. Richard" or "W. Richards" that weren't in any way Westley Richards guns. I find it just a little amusing that this is on the WR site.

I've also seen numerous rifles advertised as made by 'the prestigious maker, B.Blindee...' (proof stamp indicating a rifle set up to run jacketed bullets)

Currently on the Cabelas website there's a shotgun with barrels made by one of the Belgian Bernard brothers (not Leopold Bernard of Paris), advertised as being the craftwork of the maker 'J. Bertari'
I've thought of writing them a note to explain the mistake, but haven't given it any more effort than this.
If anyone here knows anyone at the Hazelwood Cabelas, drop them a line...
