Mark, My point on bringing up the 2010 auction was that the auction house was notified by several folks who can represent themselves as highly knowlegable about Lefevers that this gun had been cosmetically altered and upgraded.
They stated that they were only guarenteeing that the gun was real. That was not in dispute. I'm sure they employ lawyers to assure that the word of the law is adhered to. However, the ethics of misrepresenting the gun, while maybe legal because we have no records to absolutely prove anything, leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
I agree with Paul, lets see how this plays out. Its just that I feel bad when a fellow brings in a high grade gun to show us at one of the meets or shows with pride in his eyes and a much lighter wallet and we recognize it as a fake.
