Czar Nicolas A-1 Special

[Robert Delk]

I know I'd like to meet the guys who did the stock and case.

[George M. Purtill Member #28]

I suppose this is the first clue its a fake.

[Bill Murphy]

The gun was built, probably start to finish, in Tony Galazan's shop. The gun was sold to a person who initiated legal action to recover damages when the gun was found to be a fake. There was serious doubt that the "customer" ever thought that the gun was for real because he was an experienced dealer and collector. As I recall, the verdict in the case was "Play nice and go home." At the time of the Gold Medal Concours display, the gun was owned by one of us. It probably is still owned by that person.
