That point is definitely worth stressing, MB.
I read years ago about a homemade porn movie in which Barbra Strreisand had supposedly appeared in the early 1960s before she became successful. The report described Streisand herself being shown a sequence from the movie and pointing out to others in the room that while there was a blurred facial resemblance, the lady in the movie had very different hands--shorter, more stubby fingers, compared to Streisand's own hands.
I can imagine a fan of the times getting carried away with a casual resemblance and thinking he was seeing Briscoe in an old magazine, when he wasn't.
Altruistically, for the sake of science, I would be willing to put in the hours if not days required to go through every issue of Colt magazine from the mid 1960s. Even if it required sacrifice of time and energy. For the sake of my fellow fans, I would do it! and, uh, yeah, I would just be thinking of Dark Shadows the whole time *wink*
cheers, G.
