...a new member posted two pistol on this forum for sale. The post was removed as it had been posted at the wrong place not in keeping with the disucssion board policies.
Most of us, myself included were highly skeptical because much about the offer simply did not seem right.
I had PMed the seller before the posting was pulled, made an offer, and the seller responded positively to my offer.
I received the pistols today. Perhaps you recall that the lot included a Phila Derringer and a Mountain Pistol, both from CVA and both assembled kits.
It turns out that the seller is a lady from LA, CA. She assembled the kits herself and did an exquisite job. The pistols, according to her, have never been fired and an inspection of the nipple and the woodwork around the nipple reveals that she is probably telling the truth. She did an excellent job of browning the barrels and finishing the stocks.
So, just in case you were wondering, the poster is strictly on the up and up, even though she went about it the wrong way.

Oh, well, at least they went to a nice guy.
