Visits from the grand kids must have been exciting

Much of it is now in the Nationalmuseet (National Museum) in Copenhagen.

I would have thought that you had most of these on display at your house?

See you at the show

Hi Jeff,
When we had finished printing the catalogue EA invited me, the editor and a few others for dinner. That was the first time I saw the collection 'live', it was a fantastic collection.

I'm envious...

Jens, did you meet Ada Bruhn, there? She was already living in Spain when the catalog was printed.

Jens Nordlunde · 22nd February 2008, 02:45 PM

No Marc, Ada Bruhn was not at the dinner, I suppose she was in Spain.
One thing you must remember is, that EA, in 1968, had collected for more that 50 years. He had a eye for quality weapons, European or Oriental, and he could afford to buy when the right weapon came up for sale.
Did you know that the first catalogue showing EA's collection was published in 1935 in Vaabenhistoriske AArboeger I - both catalogues are, unfortunately, in Danish, as they were a yearbook for the Society's members.

Hey, Jens - that must have been a great evening! I didn't notice your name on the title page until now. Any chance the old negatives could be dug out of storage, and a large-format, coffee-table style reprint of this volume be produced?
