I responded on the forum not sure what happened to it? I am interested in purchasing all of your equipment. Please contact me at the e-mail I sent to you last night so we can work out some form of payment and shipping looking forward to hearing from you.

I have written a response to you but it is waiting on mediator approval. Just wondering what type of work you have used this microscope for? I'm a new engraver have taken a couple of classes from GRS both were good. Need to know if you have a way to make everything safe for shipping? Any idea what this will cost to ship? Not sure how to send a pm?

I would like to have copies of the engraving done by your grandfather and I am happy to provide you with pics of those I have. rmgreen@rogermgreen.com

Mr. Gaylord - Leonard (Len) Brownell the past gunmaker from Wyarno, WY used your grandfather on many of the rifles he built. Len was instrumental in me becoming a professional gunmaker. You probably have pictures of most of these that was photographed of your grandfather's work on Len's guns but I also have a few. I am not sure how I can convey to you what I have that you may not have.
