I Think it's a historic in a vintage case!

But then again I could be wrong

But she sure is purty!

VDeuce · 10-31-2007, 02:38 PM

siroliver · 10-31-2007, 02:59 PM

To zoom on it, I was I able to save it on to MY PICTURES(I have windows) and zoom with the magnifier function on the windows picture and fax viewer thing

so any of you windows users should give it a whirl and see if it helps

This is not meant to be a put down either, Bobbo, but anyone that knows their stuff wouldn't put their reputation on the line with one crappy picture.

First of all I didn't know I had a reputation to protect ? Second I have 100% reliable sources for my information and you Sir seem to be getting frustrated because you dont know the answer !!!!!!

I know and you dont !!!

Why would I be frustrated - I have no dog in this hunt
I am not concerned with your reputation - it's mine that I want to remain intact and I'm not going there on a single, poor quality image
You are asking for the opinion of others, so the fact that you know and I don't is redundant and stating the obvious

Well that statement just shows me that you have no knowledge in this area and should probably just not comment on it !! Ohh and I still know and you dont !!!

And how can you tell I have no knowledge if I haven't rendered an opinion?

Why not show better pics so people can really tell? That's all I'm asking for.

As to opinions...

Top carve looks off, hardware looks new, inlays look wrong - but I really can't tell that well based on the picture.

How about I dig a pic off the web and slap it up for you to tell me? I could easily throw a pic of a Murphy up (hell even a Classic with DMC plastics) and you wouldn't be able to tell from a shitty picture like that.
