Hi Jim,
Thank you for your kind words,
In fact i have basicaly become a member of this Association to provide myself a certain legal support when it comes to complications with proving the legal aspect of owning one or other (antique) weapon. These people have a very good relation with the authorities, whom respect their expertize in the weapons area.
Therefore my proximity to their staff is mostly limited to contacts within the said context. They are very nice and welcoming people; though probably from a (financial) status well above my humble level

.
But i am sure they will like it, when i transmit them your congratulations.
Fernando.
