Mr. Chambers,
"Very best American doubles"? I think that there are many who would take issue with that if you are talking about Emil Flues made guns.There are many factors to take into account when evaluating any man made object many of them subjective and difficult to evaluate or quantify.What mechanical or artistic standards are you using to make such a statement? What qualifications do have to make such a statement in the first place?
The remark about "The most important gun in African American history" is one that needs some qualifying also. Says who? Have you decided that yourself? The gun used to kill Dr. King had much more impact than some ornate double owned by the Emperor of some distant country very much culturally removed from the American black community.Most people don't even know who Ras Tafari was and I think that is why you always refer to "The Lion of Judah" by that name.C'mon.Lighten up.

Robert: Thanks for the information concerning the Newton rifle. I will pass it along to Ross. I believe that Ross told me that after the shooting Marshall (Carbine) Williams buried the rifle and did not recover it before he went to prison. How it got to the gun shop remains a mystery.

Best Regards, George
