Thanks Bill! Indeed I could have hogged all the M9s, and was aware I was leaving "money on the table". I also know we both had travel expenses to cover, too, and you would be there shortly. However, my primary interest was to secure new goodies for the collection. I also have tried to somewhat limit my collection by avoiding every minor variant ever made; particularly when it comes to Lancay production. This is why I resisted subscribing to the "Lancay M9 color of the month club", acquiring foreign M9 clones, etc. I had a nice conversation with the seller and he has graciously offered to send me all his notes, etc. from his (former) collection. BTW, I will be selling my Buck collector club M9 "Chevron" #159 & possibly a very nice issue "Chevron" if anyone is interested....
