I must come clean. I am only a collector in the sense that I collect things to use them and I rarely sell them. Knives, firearms... and the occasional motorcycle and/or car (only one bike and one car, I ain't Jay Leno). I do use, I sometimes abuse, but I maintain my stuff.
That beautiful bronze finish on the NMSFNO has already been "tarnished". I had an altercation with an ugly '70s "garage sale" 2 drawer end table after I banged into in in one of my warehouses in the dark. It will make for nice patio fire in the chiminea. :thumbup:
Thanks for the well wishes.
