It is sad to remember that both Harry and Herman are no longer with us.

Dear Barry,

    Its we old timers that remember these gentlemen.   Both were of the old School and very knowledgeable.  You must have also known Dean Hartley.    Dean spent a couple of hours with me at The Chicago Sword Show on a one on one while we discussed the Kinmichi Line of Mishina Swordsmiths.   I was much younger back then and somewhat surprised that he would take the time

Hi Ron 

I have a wonderful iron fuchi kashira that I  bought from Dean. Whenever I  look at it  I think of him. He was a very knowledgeable gentleman. We have lost too many oldtimers.

I remember many good conversations with Herman.

 

A wonderful Tanto made by Kotani Yasunori from his collection came into my hands

 

with the help of a friend from germany at that time, thank God.

 

 

 In my memory, Herman was an old shool Gemtleman, with  great knowledge!!!
