Why did he stop short when he said "Yes but we are...." Did someone shake their head at him?
"We are'' What? Required to list the complete numbers on the invoice?
Mr Michaelis boss [Mr Rose] ---- Why was he hanging out?
The first number, V510210, is commonly described as the butt number, while the second number, 65248, usually is described as the crane number.
So now not only did the revolver not have the "V" preceding the serial number .....it also apparently did not have the number 65248 stamped on it....
