The fastest way to get a copy of "Der Waffenschmied" #45, is to join the German Gun Collectors Assn.I believe new members recieve, immediately, the current issue of either "Der Waffenschmied" or "Waidmannsheil"(their other publication). "Der Waffenschmied"#45 came with a reprint of a 1916 issue of the Collath catalog. Considering the normal price of reprints(in this case 2),discounts on other pubs, books, etc;to say nothing of the comradeship,you could be money ahead.
