Stampin Stocks
HI ALL,
In my very small collection of airifles,I have a few with personal stampings(obviously this train of thought brought about by mowwermans thread),which leads me to assume a great many pre-war guns were stamped by thier owners.........WHY ??Nobody would dream of doin it today !!
was it..
Utility overode asthetics totaly...doubt it
Guns were stolen more often...doubt that
Nobody thought they were ever gonna sell em on ...dunno..
Perhaps I am just lucky enough to have dropped on to these....Would be interested to know if alot were stamped...Lakey ?? Ian ??Micheal ??anybody else in the know??
TIM(thinkin about avin the paul wilson done.....NOT,but would consider the JW,if I could get it done nice.. on reflection)
