I consider Chris Schotz a gentleman of the first order; and what you note here is typical Chris Schotz behavior, as that is just his nature. I've known Chris for at least 20 years, and found him always gracious to share information and accomodate my personal research efforts in whatever way possible. I highly value Chris's friendship; and although he would never call attention to himself, know for a fact that he has contributed greatly to our present knowlege of vintage doubleguns. Tom Archer
