Well, Mr. Wise was in the hospital. The news is of his passing, a sad circumstance for this board indeed.

Another I miss is AYA Jeff, needless to say, a real expert on Spanish guns. Ditto Brian Meckler, who used to be here more often, and was able, from experience, to inform about just about any Spanish gun built.

It is mostly an older crowd here, and they won't last forever.
Best,
Ted
