Certainly seems possible... perhaps even logical.
Gets a little odd however, to then spend your free time hanging out in gun enthusiast forums? And specifically appearing in the middle of a discussion on an extremely rare pistol with provenance?

Surely the rancor isn't a complete surprise...?

To the subject pistol, as I have said elsewhere, pistols like this one are fantastic for other folks to own, I wouldn't want to put a bunch of wear on it myself, but it is wholly entertaining for me to see the glossy pictures, see the factory letter, and read the passion in the posts of the enthusiasts.
