Where has our good Dr. Drew been (on a mission somewhere perhaps?). I had a question about this particular grade of Damascus...



Another question...when did the "drop at heel" for the Fulton guns become less pronounced? 3-inches seems to be "the standard" in the early years, when did that change?



Also, did the earlier hammer guns (pre-Fulton thru the "transitional" period [1890 to 1892-3]) also have a more-pronounced drop at heel?

And finally...I seem to get very few responses to my occasional inquiries here. David Williamson, Dr. Drew, Mr. Stubbendieck (and maybe a few other folks) seem to be about it. Has the cast of characters here become so geriatric that they are incapable of communications? Without any dialog (interesting or otherwise) this board will simply die a protracted death (in fact it seems like it's already well on it's way).

Please tell me I'm wrong about that.
