You see it works if you never get rid of any model. Also if you think you have a double......

My same spares keep me busy every time a new casting detail is found John. You are very right about IF we never get rid of any model. I also have found that we tend to forget minor details that are not completely cataloged in our guides, but Nick's online guide now gives details we can't possibly overlook if we follow them. Not everyone collects in this detail, but those who do are tortured every week by the Forum's 'New' as well as our 'Old' but unrecorded variations. Nice Canteen you show here. I have not ever checked my 12 different against Nick's list yet......Maybe a 2014 resolution?..Maybe 2015, these things are slow in kwakers Cave time. The days are much shorter when you are old......LOL.....kwakers

......at least it keeps us from the street. I am working on the MB catalog for 8 years and have now reached the point I don't throw anything away!

I have the very same opinion. Despite the fact that I was checking my spare models several times, I am finding a new and new variations (as recently 29a with GPW ΓΈ9,5x20).

Hi Dick
Albert Einstein described the deceleration of time in his nice Theory of relativity. Unfortunately he has forgotten to describe the opposite phenomenon, which I am observing now (and probably not only me). The older men is, the faster time is running :cry:
