Herr Prop-Wasche Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Cool find, Rabu! How much for ordering from the states? I look forward to hearing your review of the article. Quote
+Olham Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Thanks for the tip, Rabu. I'll check our magazine stores - someone may have it. Quote
rabu Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 Cool find, Rabu! How much for ordering from the states? I look forward to hearing your review of the article. With postage it was around $15.. expensive, but worth every penny. I ordered it back in mid June and just got it yesterday. When I didn't get it by mid August I emailed them and they immediately emailed me back and sent another one... apparently the first one got stolen by some WWI fenatic working in a post office.. no doubt!

rabu Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 Rabu- Magazine issue aside.....your "new" sig logo is just terrific! IMHO Regards, Royce Thanks, CP, I just embeleshed an old engraving that I liked. I think it was an ad for one of the early aerial photographers. Quote
Herr Prop-Wasche Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Hmm, $15 isn't too bad--especially when it is loaded with all those articles. Stolen by a WWI fanatic?? Is there no honor anymore? Quote
Guest British_eh Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Thanks rabu, I have joined Cross and Cockade, and they too have a wonderful magazine if you're interested. Cheers, British_eh Quote
Scouseair68 Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Great spot Rabu. Received it today and it is definitely worth the seven quid. Quote
