I agree you're right, but it's a shame that broomhandle forum doesn't work as it could.

Did we ever find out what happened to Nemo??? www.m1896.com I mean (I think that was the URL). I know it was taken over by virus people, but IIRC, Nemo only lived a few blocks away from Alvin.

Nemo had a lot of good stuff there; giant color cutaway views of C96; history of Mauser C96, listing of year of mfg by serial number, lots of links. I was sorry to see it go.

Someone made a back up site, in order to save the information posted in the site - but not the forum, that was beyond any help:

I think it was Vlim that made this ersatz site

Thanks, it's a pity for that forum though.

It's not really a forum. It's more like a bulletin board.
