Ramey, so you are saying that Adolph was just a con man and that the unfortunate war [out of his hands] was not a contributing culprit. Could the con men have been those, mostly in Europe , that did not produce the products for him that he paid and contracted for ? Do you consider American makers Donn, Abbey, Jakob, Kuhn, Krider, Tonks, Patrick Mullin, John Mullin, and Thomas [Chicago] to be dishonest because they used European guns to finish up ? Do you consider Eastman, Whalen, Roosevelt, Crossman, Askins, H. Ford, Andrews, Smith [L C Family] to be fools when extolling the Adolph products built for them ? Do you consider Kornbrath, who is in the top echelon of American engravers as a purveyor of “chicken scratching”? I am puzzled by the attitude . Do you find fault with the Petrov history of Adolph ? Do you find fault with the Adolph products delivered ?
