Hi Doug,

no, I didn�t consider writing an article fort he GGCA � simply, because I�m no member of it. Also, my observations could be interesting for some very few collectors, but I doubt it would be worth an article in the magazine of the GGCA. Just thought, some German gun nuts, especially the Sauer nuts here who didn�t had an opportunity to travel to this place yet would like to have some photo impressions st least.

BTW: it�s always disappointing to see, how the �Mecca� looks like in reality. I remember well my travel to Herstal and Liege in 1994, as well as my first travel to Suhl in 1990��. I expected something different, to say the least. Something like the land of milk and honey or a place or pilgrimage (like Lourdes in France), where all broken top lever springs will be healed by an high priest of Saint Sauer/Saint FN� but in real, it�s a dusty industrial city, like Detroit/USA or Wolfsburg/Germany (the VW city - what really is ugly and boring!)

Best regards

Martin
