"Say it Aint so Joe!.....Heartbreak if its True.....Put it in the rack along with The"Original BO Whoopi"..Just another Piece of "Yankee Gunmaking History Filed in the 86 File"!! cc.

"Rumor passed to me..N.Y. Ins Co. looking for bids to "Make No. 35" all well again!!I'm sure it will-not make it to Julias Oct.Beer-Fest"!! (At least not in its Original Condition)cc.

"i know something you don't know" Why don't you just say in plain english instead of baiting and talking in riddles

#35 and 121





New stock for # 121 in progress

Dear Dogfox', As I said "Rumor"...When I receive a Phone Call from Mr Persons Unknown'(Who seems to have "Good Gen" about this particulr Firearm")and the following conversation leads me to belive he had watched me handling the "Fox" at the 1st Julia Auction or the 2nd....His Questions were purely about the money that would have to be spent to "Restore/Restock" "A Very Rare and Important American Custom made Shotgun"(He didnt sound like he was a "Foxer" as he brought up the Value/ Cost of Repairs/ and if it was repaired could it be sold as all Original and not be 'Detected" by a Punter with a lot of the "Readies" Draw your own conclusions as to what he had/ has in mind......cc

I have always been of the opinion, at least a suspicion, that the buttstock on #35 is a replacement. #35 is still going to be quite a gun even if the stock has been damaged and needs to be repaired or replaced. #35 is the gun on the bottom of both of DT's pictures. Which gun is in the picture of the stock in progress? Not #35, I assume. DT, missed you at the Vintagers. Murphy
