Thanks for the additional photos Fred. I do like your dog. If you are like me they are like having slightly hairy children (I belong to three dogs and two cats). And that is a very nice Gew98, especially having a known family history. Oddly as I am typing this my 1916 dated Spandau happens to be leaning in the corner not four feet from me. It is also a vet bring back unfortunately I do not know the history behind it. As has been said many times before if they could just talk.
Have to ask, the two MLE's in your photos with your two CLLE's, who made them, and of course, how do they shoot?
