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

One again, my dear Sir,


Though insubordinate a time or two, I'm trying to be at your command ...

Anyway I'm glad you show that you care!


Best,
Michl

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

Thank you both Nando and Marcus,

I have been waiting for more than half a year now to receive some signalized reply, though ...
Knowing from my own sad health experience, however, I am aware of the fact that literally everythting is possible at any given time, so I can but wish them welll!

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
