He gave me his own'Bluing formula, We blued several guns on his kitchen stove!!!I have been 'Hoping'that one of the 'Talented Scribes'who currently write for the "Glossies" would take it as a Project.....American Gunmaking..(Me of all people calling an engraver a Gunmaker!!!) But, Arnold in Germany, Before arriving in the USA,was recognizedby by a member of the "tHIRD rEICH" as someone who could 'Enhance certain Gifts to the Upper- Echelon' ......I really enjoyed my Years in Chicago'Hanging Out with Arnold Grieble. One afternoon, after a Long German Lunch at Johnny Helds "Brown Bear" resturant, with the German Gun"Mafia",Drinking Litre's of Real Imported Munich Draught Beer, Leather panted'Bavarian accordion squeezing Musicians,John Amber Ordering Rounds of drinks for the 'House'Arnold stood up and sang a Old German Song his Father had taught him many years earlier when he was a 'Lad"What a Video that would have made!!!I now have to go to my Photo Files, I have a small 'collection of stuff on Herr Grieble... cc..getting Nostalgic for the'Sixties"
