I have been keeping out of this thread and seeing what develops.
My only contact with Richard was when he blued a Webley pistol barrel for me maybe 6 years ago. He asked if I'd like it plated ( as I think he was tinkering with plating then) , but could not get the nickel to go on uniformly on the lug on the barrel as it is different to the barrel. Anyhow he blued the barrel and sent it back to me free of charge. AND it was a good job.
I do not know what sort of health Richard has been in recently or is in now, but I hope it is nothing serious and he recovers sooon.
I think what he should have done ASAP was to put a post on here ( or get someone to) that he was not well and there would be delays----And to not take on anymore work.
I appreciate people are waiting for bits ----but we do not know what is wrong with Richard. Hopefully he will make a full recovery and then start on the backlog of work that people are waiting for.
