Hey Jesse and Vlim..!

Jesse - thank you. Honestly? HK reseach is all I've done since - well - I think? About 1981..? It's the variation - at that time, was the least known about and the most conjectured about.. So, yes - in many ways - it was an expensive education, as the very first HK I bought (for the princely sum back then - was well over $1,000) was a faked side-frame. So I was determined to "do the research" - which spanned the USA, Germany, Poland and Russia. It was, and still is - a wonderful research journey - and it still fascinates me with each HK that is brought to light...

Anyway - simply - thank you guys too... Without your posts, I wouldn't have posted all I think I know based on my own notes, in my collection and what I've verified for others....

My thanks for that,

John
