Hello All

For alot of reasons that I dont want to spread around on the list, I am
selling most of my collection.

I keep a few selected specimens to enjoy.

I prefer to sell it all to one buyer, but if I have to I my split it up.

They may go pretty cheap, but I dont want to give it away...... I want a
fair price..... you all know what they aproximatly cost.

Does anyone want to give me an offer ?

Questions are welcome, and I do have a few pictures I can send to you on
request.

Best wishes
Lars Pedersen
