Let us try and get back to reality with this post please.
Binko is obviously very proud of his purchase, and so he should be.He has never mentioned the price, and does not need to, it is none of our business.What he has bought is a very fine gun made by a famous maker.Wether it be Holland or Scott it matters not.
Yes the hinge pin looks damaged, yes the barrels may be thin and pitted, yes it may not have been coloured by Turnbull.But it really matters not one hoot to us, it is none of our business.If Binko is happy, that is fine by me.If he had asked for advice or opinions to help him decide if he had purchased a bargain, now that would be another matter.
Homeless and Lowell are very fine men with allegedly some very nice English guns.If they would care to try and be as refined as their guns, ( I doubt it bothers them?)they could heed the English childs advice, "Speak when you are spoken to"
"Converse intelligently with everyone and treat all as your equal, speak down to no one"
