he originally was 'upset' and part of it was me playing moderator. But we worked it out.

The germans call the markings stempel or at least its used by Goertz that way in his book in German.

You have to buy the article - not sure if you could buy it from the publisher. I bought all three special editions.

I subscribe to SGN, the once-a-month edition. It wasn't in my edition. The three-times-a-month edition seems to be popular among larger gunshops, but there are none in my area. The news-stand edition (with the full-page color front cover) is not sold in my area at all (B&N here closed down some years ago).

SGN does have some articles online, but they omit the pictures.

SGN is a pale shadow of what it once was. The Internet and online shopping have drastically cut their readerbase. Used to be, if you wanted a specific firearm, you went through SGN page by page. Now, you just Google it. <sigh>

The larger suppliers, like Sarco, Hunters Lodge, IMA, etc used to have great graphics. Line drawing caricatures of soldiers, stuff like that. All gone now.

And that's what makes us old! I also miss the days when SGN was THE paper to go to for all your shooting needs. I miss the illustrations, drawings, not to mention prices. Militaria from all over the world, and dirt cheap. I never had the subscription, but as soon as the paper hit the stands, I had to have it. Too bad I didn't save any. I moved too many times in my life, and at one point I had tons of old SGN issues, which I foolishly threw away.
