Ing, is that a sidelock Heym, or just sideplates. Very nice!

This should be a fun contest! As much as I like to have fun with some of Sullivan's video catch phrases. I have to say that he has been a perfect gentlemen every time I've met him in person.

Jon, far as I know, Heym never made a sideplated gun. They are pinless sidelocks.

BTW, I chatted with Mark Sullivan for an hour at this years Harrisburg show. Great guy!

To the phrases:
We dont do it in Germany in this way. And I know it is hard in some way..., but I think this is show.
I dont want to say in an bad way: a little bit the american show, but... It is show.

Then you meet him in person, as I go, last time at the SCI in 2011, he is totaly a great gentleman, far away from his: Let him decied in witch way he want to die..., pp.

Or:
Read his two books.
Great.
And you can see him in an other light.

And:
He is the man, that brings the double rifles back to life (okay, there are som others too... :-)) but he did many good thinks for that great gun

We are happy to have him here in Germany.

If anybody of you have interessed, you are invited, the event for you is free.

Stefan,

I have posted the Heym event information on our blog as discussed. We have been showing a very good number of domestic and international visits to the posted information! I have also had communication with some of our European clients regarding the event. I have recommended that they contact you directly for additional information or assistance. One of our clients in Germany has indicated he is planning to attend and has enrolled in the event. If I receive any specific queries from the United States I will be sure to let you know.
