<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 167734, member: 54&quot;]Well I certainly admire your concrete convictions.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been in the antique arms business in one form or another since the 1970&#039;s, have bought and sold nearly 10,000 items, and have never been lucky enough to see either item you have in the original condition as your examples.&nbsp; I&#039;m not aware of any of the many books that have been written on these items which show in photos or describe in text items like yours identified as being in original condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>But don&#039;t take my word for it, take them into any antique arms show or to an experienced antique arms dealer of your choice and ask.&nbsp; If you need suggestions on a show to attend where there will be many different vendors to ask, tell us what geographic area and we&#039;ll have some suggestions.&nbsp; Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
