Bennett’s letter only makes sense if written to a Win dealer or importer regarding some contractual issue; I’d guess that was why he handled the matter himself.

Years ago, I bought a gun in a auction described (allegedly) by Vaule.  Couldn’t believe it was the same gun when it arrived, so far removed was its cond from his description.  I protested the discrepancy loudly enough to be allowed to return it, unusual in an auction.
