I sometimes find these kits on auctions, next to the book of the Malleus Maleficarum.

Oh 'Nando,


The staff of all the leading English auction houses - Bonhams, Christie's and Tom Del Mar, in alphabetical order - know the forum and they promised me that they irregulary check at least my threads!
Whenever I have posted something on an item they sold they receive an extra link from me, just like all the other sales houses.

So I guess I have done my duty as a forum mercenary - btw, where's my pay? My Christmas check has not arrived. Last year the hospital I was in cashed it, and this year??


Best,
Michl

Hi Fernando,
Indeed, I think this Trousse would make short work of almost any fish or game. This set is actually part of the collection at Glasgow Art gallery and Museum so ten minutes along the road and I can drool all I want.

Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Fruitful New Year.
My Regards,
Norman.

Quite a moody composition, Jasper, and may I say: one full of Christmas weaponry atmosphere!
