who signed this?

[Chad]

I found a book on eBay that I already have a copy of. The seller says this is autographed but the signature does not look right.

yes the signature is rigth Mario writed always the same ,we meet him in Bruxelles with to other friends ;and on each book it's the same only the name change
bye Rocky

These look like they were done at a book signing... do you know if he signed a lot of these? If this was a common practice and he signed thousands of copies that can really lower value of autograph.

Mario don't do a lot of books with his signature ,just some people

Chad, Thats not a bad price for Mario's book that if you did'nt have a copy.I was given a copy from gun engraver Jim Bick many years ago.Gunnerman Books had a copy of Mario's book for sale at $135.00 in there last catalog I called the next day but it was gone. J.J.

JJ,

I haven't heard of Jim Bick for many years. He used to frequent the OGCA back i the '80s. Is he still around the trade?

Roger,Jim did gun shows here in Virginia thats how we meet and we be came good friends.Jim had medical problems some thing to do with blood,he has passed away.He was a fun guy to hang out with,we had alot of laughs I sure miss him. J.J.

[Roger Bleile]

Sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I remember that he had some of his fingers amputated because of the blood disorder and yet he managed to engrave nevertheless.

Any chance you can remember what year he died so I can add the information to my records?

Thanks,

Roger

Roger,I believe Jim pass away about 15 years ago,Bob Evans may have some records on Jim thats if he was a member of FEGA.Jim really suffered with that bad blood problem. J.J.

[Roger Bleile]

Thanks JJ.

Hello. My name is Scott Bick. My dad was Jimmy Bick. So u know, he actually just passed away on oct. 29th 2012. You may be confusing him with my uncle Tom, my dads brother, who died about 15 yrs ago.

Hello Scott,

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I hope the confusion about your father is not disconcerting, I'm sure there is an explanation for the misunderstanding. Are you an engraver also? Whatever brought you here I'd like to welcome you.

Bob
