My vague recollection is that there was a poster not named Drew who had acquired a frame with the bits ground or sawn off, and someone, presumed to be the previous owner, had crudely painted "Drew" somewhere on the frame to sign his handiwork.

See that's the trouble with "traditional knowledge". Even when it was written down somewhere once, people's recollection of it starts to drift and they favour a version that suits their world view. Can you imagine settling a land claim based on hundreds, nay thousands, of years of knowledge about who hunted game and captured slaves where, handed down orally?
