Authenticators

[newnan man]

Has anyone heard of an authenticator named Calvin Howard? A friend sent me a pic of a very nice Ohio Dovetail and it had a COA from him.

Seems to have been well respected

I’ve heard of him but have never ran across any Paper with his sig on it.

I met him a few times, seemed like a bright/analytical guy with a very sharp eye.

Not sure why I see his papers as the back up on so many other questionable opinions, but it kind of tainted my opinion of his opinion.

off topic but is the authenticator Dickey still alive?

Calvin Howard was a very knowledgeable straight-up guy that took authenticating very seriously. Having said that, I know of no authenticator that makes 100% perfect calls.
