David,
Right after receiving the Winchester Model 54 target that I bought from you, I telephoned to tell you that it was here and that I was most pleased with it. Joe took the message; I hope it was relayed to you. Again, I want to thank you for the time you took to answer all of my questions about the gun before the sale. I realize that a $500 gun deal isn't going to set any records at G & H, but you gave me the same treatment that I would have expected had I been dealing on a high-priced piece. I appreciate that! I recently encountered a sporterized Krag rifle that appears to be a Griffin & Howe piece. Do you folks have records about guns built by your firm in the past that can be accessed to determine authenticity and information? Sincerely,
David R. Kern

Hi Joe,
Hope all is well with you. Counting the days till I can break out the Arrieta again! Best money I ever spent. Thanks again for all your help. Joe, if you ever come across a Browning 16 ga. Uplander could you please let me know? I have both the 12 and 20, and would really like to get the 16. I know it was only made for a few years. I even had one in my hands and didn't buy it! That was a mistake. I appreciate it.
Tom Herb
