I appreciate your direct contact to me through this correspondence.
What I stated was: "that LtC Johnson would actually like to examine the piece personally before making a definitive statement".
We all make comments on pieces unseen - sometimes by photograph - and yet I submit to you that LtC Johnson would probably prefer a first hand visual sighting of the artifact, before he makes a conclusive statement regarding it.
In my concluding comment to this thread (i.e. Rob NL,) if you want to contact me privately, then I will give you my direct line telephone number. I am available to talk to -[ just pursue my email address.
I stand fully behind everything I have stated - if you want the challenge me - then go for it.
I am prepared to fight this case at every quarter.
