David: You, sir, have my admiration. London during the Blitz must have been awful. My mother was from Eastbourne on the channel. My grandmother, aunts & uncles wrote & told us how truly
horrible it was. That said, I AM NOT A GUN DEALER, I AM A REAL ESTATE BROKER, I HAVE A HOBBY OF BUYING, SELLING & COLLECTING GUNS! I also have a hobby of searching for American Civil War relics, but I am not a dealer in that either. Yes, for the umpteenth time I have held "Bo Whoop" to my shoulder. I was at the Vintager's Shoot at Pin Tail Point from Thursday through Sunday & have the pictures to prove that as well (I'll try to post them here if I can figure out how). I spoke with the fellows at the Fox display, told them who I was & told them to come by the Tidewater Inn where my grand daughter & I were staying & I would be happy to show them the pictures & my copy of the Fox letter. I really don't appreciate being call a LIAR by you or anyone! As to my reference to the "woodsmith" involved in re-stocking "BO Whoop", you have your terminology & I have mine! (by the way, the word Uncloud is spelled u-n-c-l-o-u-d) which brings to mind: BUFFOON -
"A poor player who struts and frets his life upon the stage and then is heard no more. 'Tis a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing". I am curious, could you be trusted to re-stock a Purdey?
Back To You Sir.....George Lander
