George, my birthday falls on the 23rd of april, with luck they should be here by then.

The actual time from leaving the US to touching down here is only around 10 days. But when the aussie dollar was so strong a lot of stuff was ordered from overseas, customs seem to be running about 3 weeks behind arrival.

As for factory boxes of silvertips, the last I saw were at a gunshow probably 10 years ago and were in the collectors area.
