I had a similar thought to Eightbore about the rumored 16 gauge Optimus. I was there at the Vintagers on Saturday and cruised all the tables. No Lefever Optimus on top of any table or in any display rack. It could have been under a table to show to select potential victims, who could be told that "knowledgeable Lefever collectors" had vouched for it. There were a number of knowledgeable Lefever collectors there and none of them saw it, so I don't know who was doing the vouching. If it was the real McCoy, why hide it under a table????
