I was suggesting that you take some digital photos of it and post them on this topic string. If you need guidance as to how to post them here, please ask and someone will direct you to the topic that covers that. <br /> <br />We want to assist you in determining whether you have a 'John Allen original', but you aren't offering up much to go on. You should email Andy Sperandeo and perhaps he'll have some leads for you to follow. I personally think asking Forem members to comment on the integrity of, or vouch for the character and credibility of someone who sold you this engine, is a bit over the top, and perhaps you should do that in a more private fashion. Apparantly no on who has respsonded thus far knows who he is, and even if they did, what would you learn from their comments (about the person) that would establi***he validity of his claim that he sold you an authentic G & D engine. The engine, and only that engine, will establi***hat, because the chain of ownership that you have presented, is too weak for it, in itself, to substantiate any link to John Allen. At least that is my opinion. <br /> <br />When you're back in town and can take the time to post the pictures, I'm sure you'll find some ready, willing and able John Allen fans eager to assist you. If you aren't willing to post any pictures, I'm afraid I'll lose further interest in spending anymore time on this topic, because it isn't going anywhere.
