Steve, here's what I can share without compromising my word: a little more than a year ago, gent "A" asked me if I wanted to make a package buy on 3 Foxes which included your Heart CE. I declined because I was (and am) on a mission to reduce the collection. I already knew that A owned the Heart CE because he'd given me info on it for the article, some months before that. I know for sure that A never worked at Savage. He told me that he'd bought the gun from gent "B", and I also know that B hadn't worked at Savage. I do not know how B came to get the gun, nor have I ever had it in my hands.
When I saw your gun recently listed I assumed that A had sold or consigned it to that dealer, however there may have been another intermediate party involved since A and the dealer are many states apart.
