And it reappears, but at a much higher price…and from the “PERSONAL COLLECTION of LEROY MERZ”…

Delete “from the personal collection of Leroy Merz” and substitute “as recently purchased by Collecting Texas from the Leroy Merz web site”. Leroy does have a fantastic personal collection but this gun would not even come close to meeting the standards of inclusion.

AHH And so this comes full circle about provenance. Also the parallel sirations on the top of the barrel would hint at a reblue.
