There's no real connection to how many guns are on the request form and when you may get your letter, especially on antiques as Roy has to have the gals at the CVHM pull out the invoices for each gun to see what the specs were on that gun, this is after he goes to the shipping records and gets the ship date & destination. 90% of NM # 3s went to MW Robinson, so I don't letter mine unless they are Target models or have something special about them and I want to know what the invoice says. Sometimes it takes awhile to find the invoice and then it may be iffy as to whether you can read it clearly. And, worst case - they never find, so the letter will just be boiler plate with a shipping date & destination from the shipping records. If you haven't heard from Roy on a letter request after, say 6 mos. call or email him. Ed.

Thanks Ed. So far I have been lucky on these, two went to Japan, one to England, one special order to an individual five to Robinson and one I have passed on to a friend that went to Chicago I forget the company right now

I always put three requests on the same form and I have always gotten the letters all back at the same time. I just got three letters last week that I have sent for in early June
