The receipt you purport is from Clawson is a matter between you and Clawson. He denies giving you one. You asked for me to pay you $20,000 to "go away". Who does something like that ? Bribes are always wrong..
You cancelled a subscription that was paid for with a Navy 1911 I purchased from you for $20,000. It was what I bought with the pistol....certainly wasn't free.
Leave your frustrations about not winning Colt #39 and the Singer S800418 out of any opinion of me or any gun I may post here. I now see why so many collectors have so little respect for you. While you seem to have good technical knowledge about the 1911, your general lack of business ethics are widely known to be severely lacking. You will certainly loose more business with this public display. I have often been told by many to "be careful" when dealing with you. Good advice
You personally told me you bid on the auction Singer that I won because you didn't want me to get it "too cheap". My bet is you didn't win #10 or the Singer is, because like Clawson's guns, you couldn't afford them.
I apologized to milgunsguy for my tone in that post in a private message and we now correspond regularly via email. I always apologize when I'm wrong. You might learn to do the same one day.
