Please Excuse Erics' More Ignorrance

[Don M]

Ron, I agree with Ed and consider the handwritten notes of August Weiss as recorded on pp. 339-40 of The Mauser Parabellum 1930-1946 to be much more credible and to the point. The two documents reproduced in Pistole Parabellum have been known for some time and really don't address blank toggles. The philosophical principal known as "Occam's Razor" states that a conclusion requiring the fewest assumptions is usually correct. In this case, the only assumptions required for the Riff Contract explanation is that Weiss was telling the truth and that his memory was accurate. There is a whole series of assumptions involved in the alternate conclusion.
