Thanks for the offer - if I had my paperwork done you could have
bought over all of my DR's and Shotguns that are in SF. I'll actually
be in the US myself in Feb.

Re "Actually I believe that there is more English junk in the USA than
there is in other countries, mainly because of a large number overzealous
gun dealers who want to make an easy profit."

I totally agree with this statement - when I was at one of the Antique Arms shows
a few years back, I saw more US$8 - 10,000 Purdey's than I could believe existed and
most I would say were not worth touching - pre 1910, Worn Engraving, No colour
and probably out of proof.

The other reason alot of crap ended up in the US is that during the "hey day" when
the level of interest in English guns took off, alot the Out of Proof guns (mainly Shotguns)
in the UK got shipped to the US as you don't have proof laws that have to be abided by and
all that was needed was a quick tart up, possible re colour (albeit by your very good re
colour case hardeing company over there) and it was sold by the dealers.

Then the exchange rate changed aginst importing from other cuntries
as well asevery body (consumers) became more knowledgeable so weren't
as easily duped.

Re your trip to Aus, PM me closer to the time and we'll see if
we can arrange a get together in Melbourne or Sydney or wherever
you end up in Australia. I can generally tie in some business interstate if
you are not coming to Melbourne.

IF you come to Melbourne, we can go and shoot a few doubles if interested !!!

Anyway, let me know.
