While at the Southern I had a vendor ask me to look at a gun that wasn't on the table. Probably due to the Parker hat and vest badges, not that in impowers expertise! I am fairly certain it was an upgrade, and asked if he checked the book/site, he indicated no records available. It wore the familiar Delgrego colors. Perhaps the heart of the problem. But, let them that don't ask, have fond memories of not gotten any!

For the past 20 years I have served on either the board of directors of the PGCA or the Foundation. During that time both boards have considered all kinds of options and approaches to acquiring any and all of the known remaining records that we don’t already have. To date no avenues have been successful. I am certain that we will continue to pursue the records when opportunities present themselves, but based on my personal past experience I wouldn’t hold my breath that any of the parties on the other side of the equation will be willing to negotiate. Hopefully one day I’ll be proven wrong.

Making an "offer" is idiocy unless both parties are face to face and the books and the money are on site. Otherwise the offer is merely a free appraisal.

John, have we told them we don't need to own them, just photograph them? We did tell the Remington Society that and they were receptive to that but they don't know what Remington intends to do with them at the present time.

Keavin, that is exactly the scenario I had alluded to in my previous post on this thread.
