Yes, Nando,


It did.

He lives in the U.S. and collects early pistols.

Right before the sale took place, there were probably only three people who knew exactly what maker the initials PP stood for: Robert Brooker, the author and wheellock collector who at that time stayed at my home and attended my collection, the prospective buyer and me.
Of course it was Robert who told me about the guy that was going to win that item.
