Dan, Thats probably why the project died in the planning stages. With all of the old guns, the mystique is in the creation of a product given the knowledge, technology,and inginuity of the time. Yes, we have the technology to recreate a Lefever, Parker, or what have you, at a fairly great expense. Compare that with a Galazan product produced in America today. I think Tony has almost single handidly kept America competitive in the high end doubles. Yes, there are Europeans that maybe beat those,but I prefer American Guns and prefer to spend my money in the USA. I appoligize to our European friends,but thats the way it is.
