is it cloth of Kulm cross ?

here are some nicer Russian Kulm crosses:

[Brian L.]

Apologies to all and especially to Boch. Yes I was unnecessarily harsh and a bit prickly and sarcastic for some inexcusable reason.

I have been impatient of late (perhaps unjustifiably) with what I see as the decline of this forum with an increase in simplistic questions on things with obvious and easily researched answers. But, I forget sometimes that there are novices in every area who might be (as in this case) knowledgeable in others.

Obviously, I also forget that people sometimes need to ask about things they don't know about.

I don't know why this particular question set me off, as in hindsight it wasn't so unreasonable. For some unexplained reason I was reminded of that person who proudly posted his GODE collection awhile back, which I found really annoying (and still do). Of course, I realize this has nothing to do with that, except that I viewed it as being in the same spurious realm, which obviously it wasn't.

WAF is the friendly, "every man's" forum and that I suppose is its main strength. No question, no matter what it's about goes unanswered and always receives a friendly reply (at least in the Imperial and Weimar sections). WAF doesn't always suit me personally and I'm not always a good fit here, because I am at times a cantankerous, old university professor who tends to like the scholarly, in-depth nature of forums like GMIC, for example. Although, what comes with forums like that is an often cold arrogance and elitism, that WAF is thankfully lacking.

So, it's a trade-off and each type of forum serves its purpose.

I'll try to keep that in mind, not take myself so seriously and maintain a little perspective in future.

That's a great reply

[morel5000]

to that reply!

bolewits58,

Thanks for the reply and the mea culpa to boch_62. It takes guts to make an unvarnished assessment of one's self.

Regards,
Chip

I actually have a cross very similar to this one on my old leathers.

Kudos Bolewt58, for your courage to make things right and offer sincere apologies.
Along with other WAF members, you are a benchmark in my personal seek of knowledge and I appreciate your presence in this forum,
since I am still prone to ask silly/dumb questions, even after a good number of years in the hobby.
Thank you all,
Vellocino

I am a young, uncatankerous weirdo who loves off color jokes, midget porn and stupid comments.... and feel right at home on GMIC.... what parts of the forum have you been missing ??

I assumed apology and I admit that's a big thing to be able to admit to error.
Not everyone can do that
