Hi Wes!

Yes sir, I quite agree; toggle bounce was simply a non-issue :-)

But here I have to respectfully and cordially disagree. Hugo Borchardt had no concerned prospective contract/purchase clients and could not have been influenced by that which he had not. Just why Georg Luger retained the toggle lock is open to speculation. He may well have been influenced by marketing concerns, or he could have shared Borchardtâ??s concerns. In my opinion, it was the latter rather than the former - but other opinion are as valid as my own and I can respect your view on the issue without necessarily agreeing with it :-)
Warm regards,
Kyrie
