Hi to all! Some time ago, I wrote a long multi page letter to Mr. Van Gjyn about the possibility of obtaining copies of certain prints concerning P.08 magazines... I went in to detail as to what my intentions were, (to produce a high quality new production mag.) I did not attempt to deceive him in any manner... I went thru all the NAPCA channels to have the letter posted to protect his confidentiality and made evey effort to convey "good intentions" and "good will".... Now, I always respect a persons opinion... I also respect their decisions, and whether I agree or disagree, I will listen to their reasons! But Mr. Van Gjyn did not even show me the courtesy of a contact or refusal letter, none, nada, zip!! Not only do I feel this was a snub, but I believe Mr. Van Gjyn grossly over estimates my abilities! The other side of the coin is, we are currently reverse engineering the "original magazines" and are making headway toward building a quality magazine...our goal is quality like an original, and a more desirable mag. then current repros! it would be quite a bit easier with some drawings to compare our prints with for working tolarences and such... But Oh Well! Such is life! I do appreciate that some of our members do have a line of communication with Mr.Van Gjyn, as is it obivious to all, that the man is a wealth of Luger information....to everyone, that is, but me! best to all! til...lat'r....GT
