Greetings All, I hope this is the right place for this. If not, I leave it to the discretion of the the moderators. :D
I have made 3 fine accquisitions on the Marketplace here. A DT 2104 from Steve Fabert which has moved onward. An Albion Squire Line Viking from Ray Deancona which I have fallen far too heavily for. A DT 2070 from Lloyd Clark, a very unique accquisition in itself.
All these gentlemen were excellent to deal with. I offer this public thanks because I would have not been able to experience these fine additions to my collection without them. To add a definitive "not last" and "not least", I would like to add a profound thanks Nathan because these were here and nowhere else.
Why all this? Due to my financial constraints and "heritage" ;) I work the "previously owned market" really hard. That is really the only way I can add the "nicer stuff" to my collection. :eek:
This brings us back to "heritage". Since I can't bring all these fine gentlemen under my hall, fill them with fine food and drink and pleasurable company, the least I can do is say a very public and loud THANK YOU!!!!! In and by the old ways gentlemen, Sincerely, Patrick Fitzmartin

Very decent and thoughtful of you, Patrick. You deserve thanks yourself for doing this in such a public fashion.

Cheers,

Gordon

Right back at you, my friend.

Patrick was extremely thoughtful and polite in his dealings with me and I would highly recommend him to anyone that wishes to do business with a true gentleman.

You have a standing invitation to come to Wisconsin and dine with me, my family, and my Company.

Cheers!

Patirck, you are entirely welcome. It is good to know that you appreciated owning the sword even for a comparatively short time, and that it has now moved on into the hands of others who will also enjoy it.
