Thoie is absolutely nothing wrong with anyone reproducing any thing old. But there is some thing decidedly "right” about the firm making them who takes enough pride in its work to openly and boldly pionouncc them "reproductions ” Or perhaps you require this for firearms but not for glass and pottery. It this is the case, I’d surely like to her your justifica tion. C Joel Sater, Always happy to receive reader’s stories about antiquing and collect- ing.
