Congrats my first honest to God skeet gun was a Citori 4 barrel set !

I believe that the books that are in the hands of Remington, DelGreco, Galazan, and a couple others, when revealed , would answer a lot of questions as to authenticity! Gary

I'm fairly certain the Delgrego Family aren't wealthy people. The right amount of money would likely shake them loose, particularly now that Babe has passed. Cash money, no bullshit, no questions.

I don't have a handle on the purse strings of this organization, nor am I likely going to get ahold of them.

Does anyone know who bought the order book (or stock book) that was advertised and supposedly sold in North Carolina a not too long a time ago? That would have been a start, if anyone was paying attention.

Murphy why didn't you make the organization aware of its availability if in fact there was a book for sale?

If I recall, that was one of the very early books. It was discussed here when it was on ebay. I think that Jeff Kuss bought it. And he brought it to Rock Mountain for anyone who wanted to see it.

The association had copies of the pages anyway.

If PGCA had copies of the pages, how did the original book get into the hands of the North Carolina paper dealer? I hope Jeff replies.

Here is the previous discussion on order book number 5 from when it was for sale in 2016. See Chucks comment on page 2.
