I'm reading through
www.Gunsamerica.com and looking to see if there's anything I can't live without as Christmas approaches. I do a search for Dutch Mannlicher rifles, and to my surprise there's a picture that's very familiar to me. It should be, it's a picture I took of my own rifle, and I've posted it here at THR when describing the gun.
Here's the gun for sale ad:
http://www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976617618.htmCompare the photo in the ad to ones I've posted on THR and TFL, do a search under Dutch Cavalry Carbine and Gewehr98 to see the original picture. Heck, the wooden armoire in the background, the TV table, and the sandbag all figure prominently in my firearms photo shoots.
The carbine in the picture is, once again, my own carbine, and it's my picture that the seller is using, ostensibly taken from THR or TFL.
Oleg and gang, what are my options to get the user to cease and desist?
He's not selling my carbine, it's safely sitting next to me in the gun rack, I checked just to make certain it wasn't missing.
But whoever buys the gun he's selling won't be getting the gun in the picture, that's for certain!
Should I bring it to the attention of the management at gunsamerica.com?
Should I contact the seller directly?
How do similar infractions on e-Bay get handled?
I'm open to suggestions...
