I don't see anything wrong with these type of nonmember posts. We get to see a gun before it ends up at a pawn shop and then shows up on GB or another web site because the owner had nowhere else to offer it. I know of a couple of very nice guns that changed hands in similar situations with both parties being very happy. It's not like the forum is full of these type of threads.

SAA letter from Colt is still $100 and will include info on returns to the factory. A Cody letter is a good deal more, and tells a good deal less.

I think a Fox Collectors Association member gets a free letter with initial membership. I think that is a good thing. It would get people familiar with the "letter" concept, and gets people a year of Parker Pages, which should get anyone with any sense to renew. I apologize if I am repeating anyone else's idea.
