I'd get a confirming letter from Kirk Merrington tied to the serial number of this gun-on his letterhead, and then, as Reagan always said "Trust is fine-but always cut the cards- twice"- I'd call him to make sure the letter is NOT a counterfeit. The only gun dealer I would trust w/o this caveat on a Limey made shotgun is Kirby Hoyt. Hope to meet him face to face at the up and coming Ann Sothern clays event in April.
