Ya'll are still "putting words in my mouth". Capitalizing on a name does not imply fraudulent intent. I never implied that Wm. Richards was even approaching fraudulence, nor that the J. Mantons were.
Do you think the name of the new line of Turkish shotguns, Dickinson, is not capitalizing on the name Dickson? Certainly it is. Is it fraudulent intent on the part of the company Dickinson? Not IMO. Your opinions may differ, but with the quality of the best Wm Richards being what they are, why on earth would they have NOT engraved one more lower case "m" after the "W". Cost saving? Baloney.
