Jonny's videos are fun, interesting and easy to digest and no doubt work for a lot of people. I enjoy them. And actually what he is doing is very much traditional auctioneering advertising. But if he is going to insert a 90 second clip into a video with the history of a maker, then he has the time and resources to get it correct.

In this case Simon and He are discussing SN 136527 with 30 1/4" steel barrels by a "no-name" maker; the video cuts away for 90 seconds of Reilly history where is states "Reilly was not a "no name." All well and good. But if he were going to spend the editing time to do a historical insert, a couple of emails would have made it more understandable.

Here is his Reilly "genealogy" from the video, clearly inaccurate and impossible;; somebody - some editor - made that chart in antiqued faded parchment style with fake photos - Two minutes of emails could have fixed it.

Enjoy the videos - I do - Grateful for a least a mention of Reilly history - a never before seen occurrence; but as I said before, The videos will stir up interest but do your own research.

And Wanko - I speak Italian. Once up in the "Black" area of Roma (black does not mean race there - it's a shirt color) on Via Cassia, I was standing at a bus stop reading graffiti. One person had written in Italian , "E l'ottavo giorno Dio creò Lazio" (And on the eighth day God created Lazio) (Lazio - football club founded by Mussolini); the response from a Roma fan was "Perché anche Dio deve merde e scoreggiare" (Because even God has to shit and fart).

And if you want to know how italia finally got to throttle the Red-Brigades (Brigate Rosse) i.e. your guys, I'll give you a summary of events after the murder of Aldo Moro in 1978. Ask. Americans were kidnapped and shot down in their cars.
