You know, Richard, maybe that would be a great idea for our forum. Even in great works such as TPS and DGJ, great restorations kind of get mixed in with original guns and, consequently, no one knows what a real original looks like. In addition, some pictures, even if of original guns, don't identify the era of manufacture. Ed Muderlak coined the phrase "benchmark gun" to describe a gun that is so good in original condition that it would be used to compare to other guns we would consider adding to our collections.

Oh, by the way, Richard, I will give you my standard appraisal for no cost. "Richard, that is not an ugly gun.".
