Caveat Emptor
Thanks Roy. Ordinarily that should provide a UK buyer with some degree of comfort but I thought that typically these "new" straight pulls coming from the EU will come with new EU proof marks and there's no reason for dealers to then send them to either of the UK proof houses. For example my Italianicon assembled Garandicon has Italian proof marks.....

Caveat Emptor indeed!
