Hi Raf,

I must admit that we might have a communication problem. Obviously I did not quite get the essence of your argumentation, especially as it was without any illustrations, in which case I am completely 'Lost in Translation', and you put 'two weak' and 'two strong' where I had expected to read 'too'. I'm also not sure what you meant by 'secondary sear prop.'

Please forgive a bloody German who has just been trying to improve his English ...

. I am sure that you can explain your point so that I can grasp it.

Best,
Michael

For a German your English writing skills are well within the Dutch standards

(every dutch person gets schooled in at least 4 languages so i think we can set a certain standard

).

On topic than, i think my earlier post has been overlooked?

If there is any room for such a study i would be more than happy to go trough my books to compile a photografical time scale on the early pistol butstock/handgrips. The earlier ones will be trick since i have limited information on them, but with some help we might be able to create something decent
