My heartfelt wishes to the Ruppel family. I met Russ a number of years ago at a show in Dayton Ohio. He came out in support of the Lefever Arms Collectors Association. We had a great time beating up each others guns, laughing all the time.
Over the years the joy was trying to find an American double that Russ had never heard of, a very tough thing to do!
Russ - my thanks for all your help and wisdom.
Chris
