Customs Still Ignores Law On
Permanent Marking Of Imports
As manv of mj readers know, made in Italy," Jack points out.
I've been conducting a onesided "And ‘Made in Italy’ is perma

The Customs Depaitment is
actually bieaking the law by
allowing foreign makeis to ship
haid goods into this countiy
bearing only papei labels But
they justify then actions with
the usual got eminent gobbledv
gook that no one can undei stand
oi aigue against The only thing
that will evei foice them to
change their attitude will be
p,essure in the foim of letteis,
and cards fiom collectois de-|
manding that they “cease and j
desist ” i
The law lequumg peimanent
markings exists It’s only neces
sary for collectois to laise so
much cam about the situation
that Customs will ha\e to come

Most of the firearms shown abote are modern repro
ductions made m Italy This fact is permanently em
bossed on each Only three pieces are genuinely anti
que, the Kentucky half stock, fifth from bottom, about
1850, the shotgun, second from bottom, about 1875 and
the all brass saluting cannon, about 100 years old. The
lest including the pistols are plainly marked “made in
Italy.” Shown by Jack Feimster, Allemvood, N.J.

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.
