...my butt!

If there were a person on the planet that could "remanufacture" brass core chips, it'd be Dean Porter. ...His brass mold collection is to look at, not to decieve people.

I'm sorry Jim, and will reserve my full conclusion as to how the inquiry reached its final conclusion, but, this smells real bad! The perp is receptive to marking future fakes to ID them as fakes? That don't cut it. If Whalen wanted to follow in Borland's footsteps, he got off to a good start in my opinion.
