"Let the 'lost' records surface,if they do exist,and let the guns stand on their own merits."
My sentiments, too. There are enough miscreants loose who should be quartered to concern ourselves with tarted or misrepresented guns. Reasonable doubt doesn't resonate with me, either. Nothing is safe or certain. Why expect it from the provenance of guns? I'm fortunate to have the enjoyment of their craftsmanship, and whoever said a little naughty or spooky stuff isn't a spicy ingredient of our obsession, our curiosity, too!
