I am the ruggedly handsome, modest fellow writing, Jens is to my right in the seated photos. On the table are a leather pad sample and some Cajun seasonings from LA. We also brought him some of my toasted pecans. The young man in the photo where we are inspecting an Essencia is my former exchange student from Germany.

When I called from the States to arrange our meeting, I asked him if I could bring him any tools, etc. from the US and he said no. He did ask me if I would show him how to do a leather pad. The Brits and Europeans do like gunsmithing tools made in the US. They really like the Nicholson #49 rasp.

Jens is located in Zella-Mehlis, the former home of Walther. He took us to Suhl to see the proof house. By the way, the proof house uses RCBS dies to make their proof cartridges.
