Hi, John! All the best for your new "role". I think we all have the best "master" ( with Willi´s permission ) to guide our "steps" and to improve our knowledge... I don´t doubt it.

Welcome John

John's knowledge of cloth, and especially FJ smocks is, I think, without equal. I know very sophisticated collectors who routinely consult John on cloth. It will be a pleasure to hear from you John.
But just don't go overboard on the reenacting side!
John

[John Hodgin]

Thank you Oscar and John B!

Goodness John, I hope I can halfway live up to comments like that, very kind of you! As for reenacting, no worries. At my age and with a goatee, I'm no good unless a unit needs me to portray Generalleutnant Ringel

Oscar, good hunting in Spain!

Best to you both,
John
