Hi Nando,
Your response sort of brightened up my mind a great deal because it seems to have gotten a pretty darn lonesome job I'm doin' here - since good people like Micke D and A. Senefelder evidently have stopped contributing ... Best, Michl |

Don't be so sure
They are around lurking and, when you less expect, they jump into the scene. You just keep posting; don't look for excuses

Don't be sad my friend most of us do follow your post with great interest, but lack the knowledge (speaking for myself at least
 ) to contribute in a challenging way. Be assured their are more than only Fernando and myself who care about your continous flow of wisdom, AMEN

I do hope that David Jaumann ist still around here as this request is for him:
I remember that when you were last planning on attending the Germanisches Nationalmuseum Nürnberg I asked you to take photos of the gun arrow on display at the Kaiserburg where it is labeled as a 'crossbow bolt for a wall crossbow'. While I was in hopital for the whole of 2013 I noticed you posting new images of Nuremberg Gothic crossbows, so would you please let me know whether you succeeded in taking some of that item as well? Thanks in advance, and best, Michael |
