Hi Guido, Michael, Bernd and all,
        I am delighted that the word is FINALLY getting out about good
NanTans. I have hyped them since the old "VOYAGE!" magazine days.
They are interesting, unique, and all of mine are surprisingly stable -
And remember, in San Diego I won't even deal in cut irons due to the
Salt sea air.
        Perhaps I can look up the old photos I have of natural Nan Tan
Xls.
        Michael
