I was entertained. A fun read over coffee.
It doesn't compare with the time [a well known gun forum kook] went on the old Lefever forum and insisted his porch-whittled Ithaca Nitro Special was in fact a "$1,000 Grade Syracuse Lefever," however. As I recall, the story included engraving by at least two famous engravers, one of whom was dead by the time the gun was made, and the other never worked for Lefever. There was also some classic "old family legend" that went along with it. All good fun! He made 8 furious posts and then never returned.
Delusion can be a powerful opiate.
