It's "good to be King?" Thanks, I think. Ethos (Greek for Ethics or ethical in behaviour)? perhaps. All of the dealers I listed, starting with Robin Hollow and through my favorite (Kirby Hoyt) are ethical, just as my old friend Bill Jaqua (ret'd.) of Findlay, Ohio always has been, and his heirs continue that tradition.

Anyone can ask any price for a "Vintage" gun they care to, getting that price today, with very knowing members of such groups as: PGCA, A.H. Fox Collectors, The German Gun Collectors, et al- and the rapid dissemination of "inside data", serial nos. etc- makes the inflated prices some of the aforesaid dealers try to obtain for their wares more of a challenge in today's market, n'ces pas mon ami??
