The end of lead shot in just a few years will spell the end of use for a lot of doubles. A rich mans game is getting even more expensive. Plus demand had already cratered for the most part on doubles. Sad times for many and great times for others.

I will offer a modern German gun (a Keppeler) engraved with a herd of mammoths impersonating Colonel Hathi's jungle patrol. Both taste and wit. This (female) engraver, namely Carmen Kugler, was really good.

Broker fees on both sides, somebody has to do the paperwork, even antiques require documentation and Customs clearance which require a broker on commercial shipments.

With all your time in the military, can you believe the costs are related to red tape?

Nothing is easier these days. Last year I had months and months of delays, paperwork, funds being held up due to new anti terrorist and money laundering laws, shipments stopped by US Customs for extensive deep in inspections which they charge me for.

We all want a simpler way of doing business, everybody except the Governments.

That's a lot of whining about the various costs of engaging in the firearms import business Princess SKB...

... the cost of domestic shipping, the cost of shipping crates from the UK to Denver, the cost of trucking crates to your shop, the costs of Broker fees and doing paperwork, costs of Customs clearance, costs of inspections and delays incurred due to government regulations, etc., etc. Wah-waah boo-hoo...

The only thing missing from all of that crying is any mention of paying Dave Weber the customary $12.00 fee for any and all sales resulting from the continual Free Tagline Advertising of the For-Profit Business Ventures you do on his DoubleGunShop Forum. You've been reminded about this dozens of times, so any oversight or past due payments and arrears would appear to be intentional, in my humble opinion.

So what say you? You'll need to answer here in the open forum, since you filled my PM box with vulgar Spam PM's. No hiding behind lame excuses now Princess!


Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug
