I once examined an AAHE that was so badly rusted and pitted on the exterrior that most people would have considered it to be worth not much more than a parts gun. The complete restoration was put into the able hands of Dan Cullity. After his work was finished it was nearly impossible to to find a flaw that would indicate it had been entirely restored and re-engraved perfectly. I did find one flaw and I can say that the subject AAHE of this thread is not that gun.
