SAD NEWS RIP JIMMY MANTERIS

I am so sorry to hear this, Jimmy Manteris was one of the true good guys!!!!
He had a certain realness and kindness not typically seen , especially in the jungle of the arms world.
My favorite time was at Baltimore, the year he was supposed to give a talk on Ethiopian shotels (I think it was)....but the examples he brought for display he curiously had sold at the arms fair just prior to the event!!
The shy embarrassment of this wonderful guy was just another reason why you couldn't help really liking him.....he was the real deal.

Rest in peace my friend.....You will always be remembered.
