Larry, Here's your proof...the dealers who call their guns "guild guns" are always selling them...if YOU try to sell them the very same gun, they say it's just an unmarked hardware store gun...

Here's a better example...

My cousin is a Browning collector...after examining several Browning BAR sporting rifles, he asked a fine reputable Browning dealer, Bill Buis, "since there is no markings (other than caliber) on the clips, how do you tell a Belgian clip from a Japanese clip?" Bill replied "it's easy, if your buying it, it's Jap, if your selling it, it's Belgian"
