Phil:
I have numerous digital photos of his personal belongings that were up for sale a little over 18 months ago. Unfortunately, I was not successful in obtaining these items, as someone was willing to pay more and the price was already well in to th emultiple thousands.

I would prefer to email these pictures to you if interested, as I do not own any of what was for sale.

Thank bhholst and ManuelR!

Manuel, my interest in Horst Hain started after I read
Steven Previtera's book - as I like '57 EK/RK pieces,
I noted that mentioned was a rare '57 EK I that was vaulted,
and made with wartime frames. Shortly after that I was
offered such an EK - the price was too high, but you know
how it is, I just had to have it. This piece was attributed to
Horst Hain, though there was no real provenance or proof.
Since then I have been trying to find any information that
I can, to build a small display around this modest EK.

Manuel, por favor - quiero tener fotographias, si tienes..
mil gracias!

All the best to you,

Happy hunting,

Phil
