Knight Crosses today

[Bert V]

I 'm impressed with all the knowledge on this forum. Seen you care I can still learn a lot from you.
In an other way, with RK, it makes me doubt.
The ownership of an RK and buy the next years ok EK2 and EK1.
Or buy (a lot) EK2 and 1.

To see the post, thanks for your contribution. Fun so see and read.

Greatings,
Bert
