About a year ago I wanted to ask David (Crossed Chisels) some questions about a couple of Reilly's that passed through his hands some years ago which allegedly belong to Princess Eugenie (Napoleon III's wife). I sent him a PM. No answer. Another member suggested I try his Internet address. I did. No luck.
He came on line once about ten months ago and sent me a one line PM, asking me to contact him on the internet. I did - again no response.
Finally DAM16SXS said he is now 80 yoa, is fine, to just call him and provided his phone number.
