As the story goes, some rare Darbys were found tacked to a shed and had suffered burn damage. Some restored, others not. Many of us will remember Dennis Purdey, who published VCBC back when and became de facto a leading expert on them.
Don't know if Denis is still with us, but I hope so. I loved his articles tearing large strips of hide off Alan Hager's back who was trying to pull some scam with Darbys.
