Steven,
You read me wrong. I did not imagine you responsible for anything the Magazine publishes. I don't imagine or think you would have any voice in decisions on what does or does not get published.
My question to you was posed to you because you put forth, and later put forth again that you would like to see a picture.
My point exactly; that Shooting Sportsman magazine has a multi-level responsibility to publish the whole truth, including pictures, not just what best serves Griffin & Howe.
Is it Dave's responsibility to provide the bandwidth in order to post pictures of those lovely 16's the Magazine, for whatever reasons, left out?
Have you told your publisher/editor you'd like to see pictures, Steven?
As for the engraver who signed his work on one of these finished 16 gauge Holland & Holland-style sidelocks, I have had the privilege of corresponding with this man via email with the help of not one, but two translators, one of which met with this engraver. He has communicated his recollections of these fine arms, has sent a copy of his Master Engraver Certificate issued my Belgium, a photo of the finished gun on his workbench, and much more interesting information as well.
I'd think the readership of Shooting Sportsman would want to know the whole truth, or as Paul Harvey would have said, The Rest of the Story, but the Editor does not, which is not good in my book.
