You're right bOb.

A Superposed with a Junk Yard dog engraved on it might raise eye brows even in California...

I almost got taken on an upgrade by a well known dealer a few years back. I bought a 20 gauge Grade IV Browning super, long tang round knob with 28 barrels IC/Mod that I was told was factory engraved and as new......a rare gun indeed if original with the fox and hound engraving. I paid big money for this thing, mind you. Well, I got the gun and the first clue was it had the wrong buttplate for that vintage gun. I made a few phone calls and talked to Rod Fuller in Nebraska who knew the gun, knew it had recently been sold and the dealer who bought the gun was told it was an Angelo Bee upgrade at the time. Glen Jensen confirmed the gun originally was a Grade I sold in San Francisco, CA (I dont remember the date). Nevertheless, this dealer was trying to defraud the general public with a counterfeit. The dealer did give me a full refund when I had him caught red handed, but I have had a bad taste in my mouth since. Oh, and by the way, the quality of the engraving by Bee was really superior to many factory jobs! And no, Im not going to reveal who the dealer is on this public forum, but after this deal, I have NO use for upgrades. Also, no one is pointing a finger at Bob accusing him of wrongdoing, but as jOe mentioned, 50 years from now when the gun is far away from Bobs care, thats when the waters will get muddy as to whats original and what isnt.


Socialism is almost the worst.

Oh, I would say Frank is pointing with all of his might, while jumping up and down over and over and over again.

In other words, normal Frank/joe behavior.

I like what Bob is doing. It is his gun and he has every right in the world to make it into anything he wishes. I also have no reason whatsoever to suspect he is doing it for any purpose other than his own enjoyment of his own property. Accusing him of faking a rare gun to defraud someone is out of line and an insult, but consider the source. That said it would do Bob no harm to mark the finished gun in some unobtrusive manner to show that it is a reproduction, but that is completely up to him. JMHO...Geo

Despite the nasty turn this thread has taken, I hope the OP will continue to show us the progress he makes with his "Pointer Grade"...Geo

No one accused bOb of faking a rare gun to defraud someone....

That's long stretch even for a sale section gun lifting lawyer.

Ps...those 4 or 5 guys you jumped in front of in the sale section I'm sure are waiting for you to post pictures of the fox you lifted from their hen house George.

Just an observation.
