RLE knows who the "gentleman" from New Haven is, he comes off as a very Garand icon

educated guy, trying to enhance your collection, with original WRA's Rok-Olas, etc, Ive gotten rid of everything else hes touched, when I found out he was not all there.
Its possible this is good, Ive heard he wanted it back, and when I worked at Cabelas, E Htfd, he came after me there, trying to get me fired for slandering his good name, amongst Conn. customers, [who knew of him].
When I think of virgin firearms, as I had collected K98k icon

's, with original, unmessed with serial numbers, I feel slimy, owning anything hes owned, since as with 98k's who knows who put what where?
One of the top WRA garand guys here, with my provocation, said in an e-mail, it was a nice rifle, original parts, but "not original, as built", however he hasnt elaborated...Others who I trust here, said its a good cartouche, good wood/metal, and a keeper..only the shadow knows..
