Hi Marco,

I like these types of surprises. Thank you for posting FJ Gefr Steinhofers grave site marker.

I'm looking forward to my trip to Italy on Sunday. Hopefully I will get to see more than just Pisa and Livorno.

Ciao - Bill

If you're in Tuscany next week you should visit the antique market in Lucca for sure! It's every 3rd weekend of the month, so in this case Septembter 19/20th. I've bought some very interesting FJ portraits there in the past...!

Jan-Willem,

I will certainly make a visit to Lucca on Saturday the 19th of September. On the map it isn't all that far away from Pisa. Thanks.

Good luck for business and pleasant permanence in Italy.

Back from my trip to Italy...it felt like I gained a few pounds but in fact actually lost some weight. It must have been all the walking around Pisa and Lucca.

I had a few photos waiting on me when I returned. I won't be posting some of the FJ portraits because they are going into Marc Garlasco's book on FJ Badges. Here is a pic of two FJ's
