I've been reviewing F A Loomis models on the net. Since my last search several more "IXL" and a few "IXJ" numbers have sprung up. It's amazing how much this Make suffers from "The Carder Syndrome", with continuing references to it being a Crescent. Despite the European proofs.

Carder's habit of listing guns he wasn't knowledgable about as Crescents applies to guns made by some of the smaller American makers as well. Though annoying, it sometimes results in some pretty good deals from sellers who seem to take him as "Holy Writ"...

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
