To me Andy:
It is truly unfortunate that others with extensive knowledge like yours are unwilling to get involved and say what has to be said. We all know who they are and their reasons for remaining silent is baffling
This guy probably wouldn't agree the rings were made using dies even if someone produced an original set.* I fail to understand exactly what his motive is here unlike when another came up with the "rings were cast in the round in rubber molds" theory.

* There has been a persistent rumor for many years that Roger Steele did have a set of original Gahr dies and they are now in possession of another dealer, Whether this is in fact true may never be known.
