well, this antiques dealer also did repairs an reproductions...once, ah was hangin out in his shop watchin him do wood repairs to an exquisitely, gaudy double barreled flintlock shotgun...that had a brass inlay behind the cocks that read "19" and "N"...ah had to ax what that ment and he replied...the "N" identified the gun as being the property of the emperor Napoleon and 19 signified that it was number 19 of a group of matching hunting guns...as i stood there in awe, with my mouth open and eyes bugged out like ah frog, the phone rang...
