Default Abercrombie and Fitch Information

Can we get information on how to access the Griffin & Howe list of Abercrombie and Fitch sales? The information provided a while back isn't working. Also, the link on our "Research Letters" site on the home page is not working either. Thanks.

I work part time for Griffin & Howe. I do not know if G&H is still providing information in this regard. After the new retail area was completed there are several of the A&S stock books displayed in glass cases at the check out area. They are open to pages displaying the names of some quite prominent personalities. Some of the names include Ernest Hemmingway, Clark Gable, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and a host of other famous people. Why don't you give them a call and ask if they are still providing info. If so, they can directly you accordingly.

I called a year ago as well as emailing them. I was told that they currently are not doing any research and are looking for someone to do it.
It seems nuts that they have not been able to find someone it has been years since Bob Beach retired.
I currently own 4 guns that went through A&F and are really special guns.
Its so disheartening to know the information is available but not obtainable.

Right Phil - when Bob left G&H he left some formiddable shoes to fill. I don’t think we’ll ever see the likes of him and his dedication to the task in that position again. Sad to say but we were so fortunate that he was the man he was.

Dean, you're right about that.
