Hi, Sir 'Nando,
Living weapons encyclopedia - me??!

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! Well, I'm certainly not, my dear friend, maybe apart from whatever may concern a few early firearms relics.
Roundel guard just seems perfect to a bloody foreigner like me.
I knew you were the greatest arms historian around anyway!
Thanks a lot,
and a very good night to a warm Portugal (and please cherish your charming cats!) from a darn cold and windy Bavaria (minus 8 degrees centigrade),
Mich
