A Francotte Model Question

[Larry the Gun Guy]

Wow Bob that's a beautiful gun. You really made a good buy.

[Researcher]

I contacted Bob Beach in early January and received this reply on 7 January

"I regret that I have retired from doing the research and letters of provenance effective the end of 2018. There are two current G&H employees who are interested in continuing the service but it will take some time to rearrange there present responsibilities.

A new Research email account has not yet been set up so I will continue to read and respond to inquiries. I will also keep a file of the post-retirement inquiries so that we may provide letters once the Research service is again operational. I will make your email available to my replacement when that has occurred."

I've heard nothing since.
