As we were reading threads in this forum and the European Armory Forum, Anne commented that there is a great resource on this forum that finds things that Google has missed.
Jim McDougall! I'd like to take a moment and honor this man for his erudite contributions and his eternally optimistic outlook. Last edited by Bill Marsh; 7th November 2008 at 01:00 AM. |

Jim is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge and always willing to go an extra mile helping new and younger collectors and students of arms and armour.
Thanks Jim. |

I agree as well - not only does Jim possess an extraordinary knowledge, which he shares openly with all of us, but he has also contributed greatly towards making this forum a friendly place, in which everyone with a desire to learn is welcome. His knowledge and passion has deffinitely been an inspiration for me. Thank you Jim!

You know when you've been ' McDougall'd ', in the nicest way possible of course.
Warmest Regards, Norman. |

Few know how much time Jim uses on research, but it is many, many hours. The fact that he is always ready to share his knowledge with others it only natural to him, and I know he has helped a number of collectors quite a lot during the years.
Thank you Jim |

I'm a slow thinking guy, wouldn't guess Bill was talking about 'the' Jim McDougall.
But never mind the delay, Jim is like Port Whine ... the older the better. You old rascal, your'e the best. Indeed when one wants to browse on old weapons, instead of 'googling' ... one will do better doing some 'Mc Dougalling'. Fernando |

Hi Bill,
Nicely put. The sheer breadth and depth of Jim's knowledge, not to mention enthusiasm, is astonishing. A great contributor to this forum and I always enjoy reading his posts. Cheers Chris |

Jim,
No matter how deeply you are blushing already, I am going to add : thanks for everything you taught me. Any compliment you already got and will get from other Forumites is not only well deserved, but actually an understatement of our respect, admiration and appreciation. |
