Hi Jasper,

As I have been up for almost three days, with no sleep, working hard on the so-called Monk's Gun thread, with hundreds of huge images to add and describe:
http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=19033

I had to postpone posting here.

I will carry on within the next few days; the material, from the 1960's to 2011, is so comprehsive, though, that it will me take days of preparation. It's about 40 MB on my hard disc.
I got asked about it by an important weapons historian about a week before the sale took place; so within hours, I sent it all out to him, and a few other persons involved, by email.

For posting all that stuff here on the forum, however, I will have to reduce all the images in size, etc.
It will be worth waiting - I promise you.


Best,
Michael
