Wally, I have had the same kind of experience you described. I ordered my first Randall in 1970, and received it in 1973. Since then, I have picked up others including some later discovered to be rare, to some extent, including brass backed Smithsonian, Shaw Lebowitz, and a funny little knife that Gary Randall told me was about one of two dozen made. My collection, if I can call it that, now numbers 36 Randalls, with three more on the way, sometime. Is collecting Randalls a disease? Is there a cure?
