yeah, I didn't want to state "exactly' the wording, I did that on purpose, no good reason, besides that was close enough being "abreviated"....and no inference was made to anyone trying to
rip off
or screw anyone else, as to when ,where and why they may have been "replicated", only to do ones homework and make sure you are getting what you pay for..thus the need for the books ( or at least "ask the question...) BUT< I would still like to "see" or look at the gun in question, before I tell ANYONE to buy it at ANY price....caveat emptor ,baby...............my wife was offered some over the years, looked nice and were in the 'proper' boxes, BUT ,they were obviously "reblued" and of NO value to her, at any price....other have come across from time to time also, that are "hopnest, legit,,,,in fact really "nice" examples,,,,BUT< the "pucker factor was NOT in effect....." just more than she wanted, ME , to spend......... :lol:
