Collard & Collard Patent Repeater Action, London

[Stéphane Collin]

Terry,

I really don't mean to be sarcastic here, but you show the limits of your 
interest in pieces that witness the glorious tradition of our craft. 
Fortunately, there still are people wanting to exchange the profit thing 
against the historic trip.  Apparently, also in the USA (nice to observe 
that).

With all due respect.

Stéphane Collin.
