And what happens when your research letter tells you your "original" beauty has been re-work at the factory? Or you suspect it's been re-worked at the factory? Or Delgrego worked on it (did I spell that correctly?)?

Maybe we should develop and offer a class in gun collecting ethics? Sorry, only kidding! I like the discussion -- every time it comes up.

How 'bout some cases where folks have changed their minds on what to do regarding originality, use, etc. I find that restored guns are going for a higher percentage of "originals" now than even a couple of years ago. I remember discussing this with Brad Bachelder during my last summer sojourn to Grand Rapids. Things change.
